Little Birds Weekend (Saturday) Mini-Series Class

REGISTRATION OPENS THURSDAY, MAY 21 at 8:30 AM

Designed for infants 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 birth 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.

Minimum recommended age: 8 months

Maximum age: Three years

Class Cost: $162.00 (non-member price) for the fall session. Members with a Pacesetter membership ($100.00) and above receive membership discounts on the cost of the class. If you are registering siblings, each registration after the first will receive a 5% discount in addition to any discounts that your membership level affords you.
