Class Under Glass (30 months up to kindergarten)
Studies prove that spending time outdoors builds confidence, promotes
creativity, provides unique stimulation, and gets children moving – all
while reducing stress and fatigue. Parents and children will learn about
the outdoors and nature, both in and out of our greenhouse, through
artwork and sensory experiences. Class will be spent indoors and
outdoors - even through the winter months.
