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. This is designed to have parent or guardian participation.
Join us on the third Saturday of each month from 9-10 AM
$15 per child accompanied by one adult.
Pre-registration is required as we need at least six sign ups to run the program.

Swim diapers or pullups are required to participate in all water activities for all children who are not potty trained.
Adults must sign an indemnification form to allow children to participate in the program.
Wear clothing and footwear that can get dirty and wet from nature and art play. The ELC encourages direct contact with the natural world whenever possible (including exploration without shoes, at times).
