The Knee-High Naturalist program is excited to welcome 2*-4 year olds with an adult to learn about nature at our Wildlife Education Center! Each class, toddlers and their grown-up learn about an animal or ecology topic by singing songs, reading a book, making a craft, and/or going on a short outdoor adventure, and sometimes we even get to meet a live animal! This special program helps to nurture love and respect for our Environment, teaches about the animals and plants of the Hudson Highlands in a fun and hands-on way, and is also a great way to prepare for preschool! This is not a drop-off program. Masks are optional.
