Mommy and Me: (ages 2 to 3) Mommy and Me is our popular four-week session, which is an introduction to farm animals and nature for two and three-year-olds and a parent (or caregiver). We gently introduce children to our small farm animals one at a time each week. We will be using all their senses to explore the farm and the outdoors, and parents and children will share their experiences and discoveries.
Farm Fun: (ages 4 to 6) Farm Fun is for young farmers ages 4 to 6. They'll meet and learn all about a different farm animal each week. In four one-hour classes, the children will learn about new babies and life on the farm. In the fall, they will learn how the farm gets ready for winter, harvest season, and colonial times on the farm. In the spring, the children will hold and feed baby animals, grow plants for their garden, and learn about spring on the farm.
Down on the Farm: (ages 7 and up) Down on the Farm, the Children will learn about farm life through hands-on experiences with animals, gardens, and chores. In the spring, our focus is on birthing and baby animals, incubating and hatching eggs, planting seeds, and growing food. We will learn about the Fall garden, the harvest, and the preservation of foods. This active hour is not only fun but also fosters responsibility and group cooperation.
