Little Wonders

Nature Enrichment
18 months to 4 years

Join Us for a New Outdoor Adventure Each Month!

Little Wonders is an engaging outdoor nature enrichment and early literacy program for children 18 months to 4 years old.

Outdoor exposure benefits humans in so many ways, yet, we do not spend nearly enough time outside. This is especially true for our little ones who desperately need meaningful opportunities for nature play and exploration.

Participate in Interactive Story Time, Outdoor Mud Kitchen, Pond Exploration, and Nature Crafts.

Join us on the third Saturday of each month.

We have two sessions to choose from: 9-10 AM or 10:30-11:30 AM.

$15 per child accompanied by one adult.

Free for SNAP beneficiaries. Scholarships Available
*This is designed to have parent or guardian participation.

Pre-registration is required as we need at least six sign-ups to run the program.

Wear clothing and footwear that can get dirty and wet from nature and art play.
