PLAY
Tiny and Teeny Tiny Treks
At Tiny Treks we believe nature is our best classroom. We do know that young children need predictability and routine, so you can expect there will be some elements of musical circle time, nature projects, themed story time and STEAM learning throughout our exploration. Every week our Parent/Child programs feature a new destination that explores our open spaces, beaches, farms, creeks, forest and more - rain or shine - all led by our incredibly experienced outdoor educators.
