Garden DiscoveriesGARDEN DISCOVERIES PRE-K PROGRAM - 
3 to 5 year olds
   Join us at Van Vleck House & Gardens for an afternoon of discovery in and around the gardens. Our Garden Discoveries classes are designed to inspire children about the natural world around them.

 Since each child learns in a different way, every class examines one topic through stories, outdoor exploration, and hands-on activities and specimens. Each program includes a guided hike, hands-on activities and a story. Parents or caregivers must accompany each child. Classes are held twice a month, and each class has individual registration.  Fee: $7 / Friends; $12 / Others per class (no charge for adults)
