Description Young children love exploration. Give your preschooler a chance to discover the natural world around them through guided "nature play."
Research suggests that unstructured play and exploration in the out-of-doors are essential to a child's intellectual development as well as their physical and mental health. Playing with friends develops important social skills, such as sharing and taking turns. So join the Schuylkill Center for some sunshine, mud pies and good old-fashioned outdoor fun!

Seedlings programs are for curious young naturalists-to-be between the ages of 3 and 5 years and their parents and caregivers. Each program highlights a different aspect of nature and encourages children and their caregivers to explore the natural world together.

Programs are now offered every Monday. The format alternates weekly between guided nature play and a more structured educational program. Each Monday offers your choice of a morning or afternoon session. Adult participation is required.

Times:
10:30-1:30 am and 2-3 pm

Cost:
$8 (Non-member Single Session)
$6 (Member Single Session)
