As the world begins to return to something that resembles normalcy, the educational programming for our younger explorers has also begun but with a few changes.
The wildly-popular Toddler Tuesday is moving to a new day and time. The new program, “Nature Tots”, is moving to Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 10:45. It continues to feature engaging activities to include literature, science and nature and is designed for children ages 2 to 5. The tuition for Nature Tots is $5 per child and $2 for non-member caregivers. Member caregivers are free!
The monthly “Homeschool Program” is also taking on a different identity as “Audubon Academy” and is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Audubon Academy is for children in first grade through sixth grade, and the tuition is $10 per month.
Another change for both programs is that space is limited so that social distancing is possible. Because the programs fill quickly, parents are being encouraged to register early through the registration portal HERE and go to the Education link.
The themes developed for this year are below:
