Lil’ Explorers- A Parent and Child Nature Play Program with Thorne Nature Experience!
Play in nature activates children’s innate curiosity and love of learning while nurturing healthy early childhood development. Through storytelling, movement, songs, craft-making, and play, Thorne's experienced early childhood educators will guide children on a 6 week journey to discover the magic of nature and a connection to place. Each day will begin with a group activity to activate the participant’s curiosity and excitement, and then we allow the children’s interests and sense of wonder to inspire the remainder of our adventures. This program is a great preview into Thorne Nature Preschool and is all about discovery, imagination, play, and letting kids be kids!
