NaturePLAY
Designed for young children
and their favorite adult,
NaturePLAY is an exclusively outdoors
nature science playdate.
This child-led exploration of our natural world incorporates science, art, reading, and more. Based on Reggio and Charlotte Mason styled curriculums, this class is aimed towards children 2 - 7 years and a participating adult. Big and little siblings are welcome to register too! Non-participating siblings 16 mo and under are free.
One Friday morning each month we'll gather in weather-appropriate play clothes, Rain or Shine!
