Fall 2026 & Spring 2027
Hatchlings Program
Hatchlings is our early childhood life science program for curious 4–5 year olds. Through hands-on animal encounters, exploration, movement, stories, and play, children build confidence, curiosity, and a joyful connection to the natural world. Along the way, early skills like language, counting, patterns, and scientific observation naturally emerge through meaningful, real-world experiences.
Hatchlings is open to just 6 children to allow for gentle pacing, extra support, and safe, meaningful animal interactions for our youngest scientists.
Students must meet the age requirements by October 1, 2026.
Hatchlings runs on Wednesday mornings from 9 am - 12 pm
