Just as caterpillars grow and change, our Caterpillar Club programs are designed to help your little one grow and change.

Each week, we will have you and your child(ren) exploring our natural world through a variety of seasonally appropriate, hands on activities that will foster children's inborn sense of wonder and curiosity. Our activities on April 22 will be focused on celebrating the environment and Earth Day.

These experiences are gauged towards early childhood (3-5 years old) but of course, all family members are welcome and encouraged to participate.

Interested, but can't make it? Let us know and we can send out virtual activities.
