The Spring session is now full.

Spring

 

March 24-May 19

Join us for our fifth year of Wild Wonders—a uniquely packaged Preschool program! This popular format allows us to offer a continuing theme throughout nine consecutive weeks, provide the opportunity to build a closer relationship between teacher and students, and allow for more student-directed learning, a current trend in early childhood education. Throughout this exciting program, children will discover and explore the wonders of the outdoors.

Topics for fall include the seasons, leaves and trees, bird and butterfly migration, animal homes, animal tracks and antlers, and more. Our winter session will also have a seasonal focus on animals as winter melts into spring. The spring session will take place at the Farm as we explore domestic animals and how they help us every day. Classes are filled with fun activities, crafts, and animal encounters and are offered on Mondays from either 9:30 a.m. – noon or 1:00–3:30 p.m.

Limited spots available, so don't delay—mail in your registration early. These classes are designed for children only (age four through kindergarten). You can register online by clicking on the button at the top of the page, or you can print out the registration form found on Community Programs Web site page and mail it in.
