It is time to explore in The Gardens! Join us for garden story time, movement or song plus a hands-on nature inspired activity. Specifically designed to connect young learners to their natural world, this program promotes the development of school readiness skills including early language comprehension, fine and gross motor skills, creativity, and multicultural understandings. This is a parent/caregiver participation class.
Read & Seed is included in admission or free for children covered by a membership. Registration is required. Walk-ins welcome, but we cannot guarantee a space. If you are a MEMBER, you must please log in/sign in to get the Member Discount.
