Nature Explorers
This session is suitable for children walking to preschool. Bring your little one and join us for a fun outdoor session designed especially for children and their grown-ups! In our Nature Explorers session we will venture into the great outdoors to discover and explore different textures, sights, and sounds in nature. Each session will encourage babies to engage with their surroundings, promoting sensory development, fine motor skills, and an early love for nature. Grown-ups will have the opportunity to bond with their little explorers while learning simple ways to support their child’s natural curiosity and connection to the environment. This session is all about enjoying the fresh air, making new discoveries, and experiencing the magic of nature together. Dress for the weather (we do have an inside wet weather plan) and get ready for a gentle adventure as we explore, play, and share in the joy of the outdoor world!
