Sprouts

Sprouts, Ages 2-3

Small children sit around a wooden table outdoors making art in the autumn.

Together with a favorite grown-up, Sprouts discover and explore the wonders of nature through sensory-focused classes. This program for little ones ages 2-3 years old features walks, art, music, and stories as part of the hands-on, emergent learning approach beloved in our Nature Preschool. It is a great way for your child to grow their roots in nature-based learning.
