Little Birds Spring

Classes

For children ages birth through 3 years and their caregivers.

Registration now open!

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.

The winter program will include time inside before heading out to the trails for outdoor experiences and is a perfect introduction to our approach to learning in The Nature Preschool.

Minimum age: Newborn 

Maximum age: Student cannot turn 4 before 4/10/25 for winter classes.
