🌿 About the Program
Our youngest explorers will step into the magical world of fall through stories, songs, and hands-on discovery. Each week begins with a beautifully chosen picture book that sets the theme. Then we’ll bring the story to life with nature exploration, simple science, movement games, and a seasonal craft.
With a touch of fall spookiness (never scary!), we’ll learn about spiders, owls, mushrooms, bats, pumpkins, and more — encouraging curiosity, play, and a love for the outdoors.
