Little Explorers: Nature Adventures for Early Years (Ages 0–5) Step into the outdoors and spark your child’s love for learning through nature! Little Explorers is a playful, hands-on class designed for children aged 0–5 and their parents or caregivers. Each session is filled with opportunities for children to explore, imagine, and connect with the natural world at their own pace. Highlights include: 🍃 Open-ended messy play with mud, water, and natural materials 🌱 Seasonal gardening and planting activities 🐐 Meet and help feed our friendly animals 🔥 Campfire fun with storytelling and marshmallow toasting We follow the Forest School approach, where children learn through experience, build confidence, and develop physical and social skills in a nurturing outdoor environment. Whether it’s making a mud pie, digging for worms, or sharing stories around the fire, every moment is a chance to grow and connect—with nature and with each other. Perfect for families looking for community, fresh air, and joyful early childhood experiences!
