Welcome to Nature Babies, our newest program designed to immerse babies in the wonders of the natural world and to create community for their caregivers. Through gentle, hands-on activities, we strive to awaken a deep and lasting love for nature in your little ones and create a place for you to feel seen, heard, connected and grounded. Our experienced educator will guide children and their caregivers on nature walks, sensory explorations, and animal visits, all while building community within a warm and nurturing environment. Join us in fostering a sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection to the Earth through the gentle and holistic approach of Nature Babies.
