For Early Learners
There is so much to discover! Our Early Learning Programs are the perfect fit for your little one's curiosity about the world around them.
Big Fish Little Fish
With the support of attentive adults, who are enthusiastic about nature, children's curiosity about the world around them soars! Our Big Fish Little Fish program encourages our youngest learners and their favorite adult to actively learn together. Offered throughout the year, each BFLF session follows a seasonal theme. We use all of our senses when we explore, indoors or out. Through stories, games, observation and hands-on discovery, we make learning fun. Our goal is to create an exciting learning expience that will foster a sense of stewardship that will last for years to come. Although geared toward our youngest learners (starting at 18 months!), children up to age 5 may attend. BFLF is held from 10:00 a.m-11:30 a.m.
