EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS

These programs are designed for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. A typical program is usually one hour in length. Programs can be conducted at the Nature Center or brought to your school. Each program includes an introduction to the theme, reading of a related age appropriate story, hands-on exploration of related nature items and outdoor discovery time, if applicable. All of our programs follow Early Learning and Development Standards and are listed for each program. Call us anytime of the year to book your class at 216-321-5935, ext. 243. Please complete our Program Interest Form to begin the process. An educator will then contact you directly to discuss details and answer questions.
