Program Offerings

  • Drop off program is available for children potty trained (generally age 3 minimum) through age 11.

  • We invite parents/caregivers to accompany children from newborn age to around age 3, joining the group for the first half of the drop-off day. This is a great way for children who may be too young to be dropped off to be immersed outdoors and with the community of older children.

    We can make age-appropriate modifications to include children under 3 in creative activities and early literacy development activities.

  • School Year Events TBA

Get Involved

We have very limited space in our drop-off program due to only having one facilitator on site and the need to keep child-adult ratios low for safety. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a facilitator or joining our substitute list, please leave us a message!
