Nature Learning at Linden Hill

Adventure is calling at Linden Hill! Join us Wednesday mornings for Nature Learning at Linden Hill, a hands-on early childhood family education class designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and connection in the great outdoors. Led by the enthusiastic and nature-loving Ms. Claire, each session invites children and their grown-ups to explore seasonal themes through play, discovery, and shared learning experiences.

From observing birds and bugs to exploring colors, letters, and the changing weather, this class blends nature-based exploration with early learning activities like art, sensory play, and simple STEM experiences. Families will enjoy a relaxed structure with time to explore, followed by a joyful group circle with stories, songs, and connection.

When: Wednesdays, 10:00–11:00 AM
