  • Yes! Dress your preschooler for the weather, because the plan is for our Little Explorers to spend time in nature each day.  

    But as you know, especially in the Midwest, plans can change! The health, safety, and wellbeing of our participants and team members is our highest priority, so we will move indoors during any extreme or especially inclement conditions.   

  • While every day is a new adventure, most days will include the following: 

    • Opening Circle: A daily gathering to welcome the day, share stories, and set intentions.  
    • Exploration Time: Guided nature walks, scavenger hunts, and free play in various outdoor settings.  
    • Snack and Story Time: Healthy snacks and nature-themed stories to nourish both body and mind. 
    • Creative Projects: Art, music, and building activities using natural materials.  
    • Adventures: Continued exploration and learning through hands-on activities and group games.  
    • Closing Circle: Reflecting on the day’s experiences and sharing highlights with friends. 
  • We’re exploring (hehe) opportunities across the Association and hope to share more information soon!
