NEW | NaturePlay Explorers
Do you know which animal is the fastest? Can you tell how old a tree is? If you have a child who loves animals and nature, this is the perfect class for them! NaturePlay Explorers is designed to be a perfect complement to traditional preschool or half-day kindergarten. Together we will learn all about the natural world while reinforcing lessons about sorting, counting, and letter / word recognition. Classes spend much of their time outside yearround, so please come dressed for weather with snow pants and boots.
