Sign up for WOW World of Wonder Nature Classes with your preschoolers in New Albany this fall! Nature educator Molly Scott will lead these outdoor adventures in Rose Run Park for children ages 3 – 5 (and their adult/s) to explore and connect with nature through movement, sensory play and seasonal activities.
Classes will offer safe and developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to discover a sense of wonder about this amazing world we live in. Children will enjoy story/books, music and movement, using our senses, walks/hikes, ideas for home nature play and a variety of hands-on activities. Adults need to stay with children during the class.
World of Wonder (WOW) Nature Classes are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month at 10:00 am through December. Classes are $10 per class. Registration is required, and classes will fill up since class size will be small for each session. Sign up for one, or sign up for them all! Please register any child who will be participating. Babies or toddlers who may need to come along with the parent do not need to register.
