Nature for Kids

Engage young children in the wonders that exist in nature all around them, foster their natural curiosity, and plant the seeds for a lifetime of discovery and learning; Quarry Hill classes, designed for toddlers and preschool age children accompanied by a grown up, are all about exploration, hands on learning, and time outdoors. Join us for one class or the whole series.

GOOD NATURED KIDS (3-4 Years)

Month Date and Topics

Get ready for some good-natured fun! Engaging children in the wonders that exist in nature all around them is especially important in their early years. Fostering the natural curiosity of a preschool age child helps plant the seeds for a lifetime of discovery and learning.

Good-Natured Kids classes, designed for 3-4 year old children accompanied by a grown up, are all about getting outdoors to explore, learn and connect to the natural environment. Classes meet entirely outdoors and include exploration of a nature theme through stories, crafts, hikes and a thematic snack.

Join us with your little explorer and start on a path to growing a good-natured kid.
