Not sure if The Nature School is the right fit for you? Try our Little Saplings: Parent & Tot Program!

In this weekly program, each day begins with an adventure in a woodland setting. Children interact with the natural environment through the use of creative play.

Outdoor activities include collecting, hiding, piling and other engaging hands-on exercises such as experiments, crafts, and sensory games.

This program will prepare participants for our child-led approach to learning in a way that is exploratory, inquiry-based, fun, and unhurried!

Recommended for children ages 1 to 5. Parent or caregiver participation is required.
