Early Childhood Education Classes
Turtle Tots: 4 year old – Kindergarten (drop off)
Our early childhood education programs are weekly classes where your youngest learners can explore the natural world through stories, songs, hikes, and hands-on learning. Turtle Tots will discover nature through guided hikes, games, and crafts, all with guidance from a seasoned environmental educator. Children must be 4 years old by the start of classes and be able to use the bathroom alone. Please bring a snack to class. Pre-registration, membership, and health forms required.
Mondays, 3:15-4:30 PM
Sept. 30th – Nov. 18th
$140 for 7 classes
Please contact [email protected] if you would like to try out a single class before committing to the entire fall session.
Health Forms
If your child is participating in any of our drop off classes (Turtle Tots or After school Clubs) or camps, please be sure to have a health form completed and given to us by the first class. This ensures the health and safety of all of our participants!
You can download the health form here: Health and Emergency Form
