Children ages 3-5 years are exposed to areas of Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Math (STREAM) naturally through outdoor exploration and play. The program provides a non-competitive environment to support children’s physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth through exploration, play, and hands-on nature and agriculture based learning. Children should dress for the weather and to get dirty. We will have at least two teachers per class. This is a great way to enjoy the spring/summer weather and try independence.
