Free Community Event
Sunday, November 3rd, 4:00pm
Timed to coincide with the clock change, the annual Fall Lantern Walk is a magical tradition, designed to help kids and grown ups alike welcome the darkness of winter and embrace this natural change with joy.
The whole family is welcome to attend this free community event!
Tinkergarten classes guide our younger explorers and their caregivers through songs, movement, exploration, and purposeful play, while kids strengthen and balance their senses in the most stimulating and soothing classroom of all—the great outdoors. Designed for children aged 18 months to 6 years, together with their caregivers.
Ben's Truck Time Playgroup
Third-grader Ben, aficionado of all vehicles, will read a truck-themed picture book and share a few facts about the truck of the week, then the group will engage in toy truck free play. Geared for ages 2-4 years along with a parent or caregiver, but all truck-loving kids are welcome.
Tinkering with Nature: Big Kids Program
Tinkering with Nature is the Big Kid version of Tinkergarten. It's a drop-off program for kids ages 7-12. Each season, we use nature play to work on a different skill critical to our kids' learning and ongoing development. Class sessions incorporate scavenger hunts, code breaking, and teamwork challenges.
