Seedlings Preschool
Let your children discover the wonders of the desert alongside their parents or caregivers in this nature-based enrichment program for preschoolers. A theme is introduced each week with new discovery centers, songs to sing, yummy snacks and engaging activities to captivate young minds.
Guided by caring and experienced teachers, Seedlings blends the Garden’s unique resources with imaginative and fun ways to learn about plants and animals in our desert backyard. We use music, stories, arts and crafts, nature walks, movement, touch and observation to explore the theme each week.
