Little Birds Fall

Classes

REGISTRATION OPENS AT 8:30 AM THURSDAY, MAY 21

Little Birds is designed for children ages 8 months through 3 years and their caregivers. 

Prior to registering, please review the Little Birds FAQs HERE. 

Young children are naturally curious about the world outside. There is so much to discover: sticks, pebbles, animals, plants, puddles! Irvine’s Little Birds builds upon this curiosity through a semester-long weekly class for children 8 months to 3 years alongside a caregiver. Together, children and their caregivers discover the wonders of wildlife through age-appropriate activities like live animal encounters, nature walks, songs, stories, and art experiences.
