The Early Learners program is for preschool children ages 2 to 5 years old and their caregivers. Throughout the program participants will experience a connection to nature through hands-on, immersive opportunities. The Program fosters a strong connection to nature by using our head, heart and hands. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the seasonal changes and connect with the land at a pace that feels right to them.
Cataraqui Conservation has protocols in place for the health and safety of staff and participants. Programs take place outside. We ask all participants (child & parent/guardian) to do a pre-screening before coming to a program. Any participation (child & parent/guardian) is not feeling well is asked to stay at home and not come to program that day.
