About the workshop

Join us at Bayard Cutting Arboretum for an 8-week Early Childhood Education program. This series will emphasize the changing of seasons from Winter into Spring. Children will have the experience of seeing the ground thaw, flower buds, and animals come out to play.

Each class is split into three parts; an introductory literacy lesson, followed by an engaging nature walk and lastly a fun activity that incorporates elements from the environment.

Parents are required to remain with children for the duration of the class. This series is best intended for ages 2-7 and is an indoor/outdoor hybrid. It is always wise to dress for a mess!

Educational Outcomes:

● Practice foundational literacy skills such as letter recognition and phonetics.

● Develop the ability to process and integrate sensory information through play.

● Foster a deeper appreciation and connection to the changing seasons.
