The Little Years Series is designed for parent-and-child experiences at three St Louis area sites: Missouri Botanical Garden, Butterfly House, and Shaw Nature Reserve. This series places the focus on your child, you, and the wonders of nature, while preparing your child for preschool and kindergarten. Your child will learn skills such as taking turns, listening to the teacher and their friends, sharing, and making choices. Each class includes hands-on activities, songs, stories, and a short walk.
PLEASE NOTE: Little Sprouts, Little Nature Explorers, Little Bugs, and Garden Buds are specifically designed as an adult/child program. Having younger children present can distract from the one-on-one experience for you and for others. Please no infants or toddlers.
For ages 3 to 5. For ages 3-5. Early childhood peer interaction is key to early development. Each week has a different nature-based theme, hands-on activities, story time, and will include a short walk (weather permitting). Take one class or take them all. One adult per child please.
