Little Sprouts Nature Discovery is a nature-based program for preschoolers ages 2 to 5 that explores a new theme each month through story time, movement, crafts and sensory play. Nutty Neighbors follows busy squirrels preparing for winter, Evergreen Explorers discovers the trees that stay green all year, Foxy Friends looks at how foxes survive the cold months and Nests & Nooks peeks into the places where woodland animals sleep and hide. Spring brings Nature’s Rainbow and an Earth Day theme, Earth Keepers.
Each theme is offered on two mornings, and families choose one. Winter sessions meet at Bundy Lodge at Arbuckle Acres Park, and the March and April sessions move to the Outdoor Classroom at Williams Park. The cost is $10 per child, an adult must accompany each child and registration is online. Registration for the January through April sessions opened Nov. 3.
