Early Childhood Programs

We value connecting families with the natural world. Through mindful program development that is centered on play, exploration, and discovery, we can nurture curiosity and wonder with even our youngest Zoo guests!
Our educators offer programs opportunities for you and your child to discover the Zoo and our amazing animals. When designing these offerings, we understand how important it is to consider a child’s developmental milestones –and of course their interests –as they grow.
These tailored tracks lead your child on a nature journey from 12 months up to 4 years old. Designed for early learners and their grown-ups, these 60-minute paid programs require a minimum of one caregiver to attend per child. These classes will be held indoors during the colder months and transition to outdoor locations as it warms up!
