Young child’s physical development
Our Early Childhood Education team is committed to enhancing the young child’s physical development, social and emotional growth, and cognitive abilities through intentional play-based nature experiences. We engage young children in the wonders of nature, while working alongside their families, to encourage young children to become wise caretakers of the land.
Family Forest Play
Bring your littles to The Highlands Center for some family fun in the forest. We will meet in Forest Play on select Thursday mornings to read stories, play games, make crafts, go on hikes, and enjoy time in nature together. *Stories and activities designed for ages 0-5 years old.* This program is FREE!
