Mighty Acorns Preschool Educational Programs

The program sessions offer creative, open-ended, exploratory programs developed for children ages 3 to 6 and their caregivers. Our goal is to foster an early love of the natural world and an eagerness to explore and have fun outside! Additionally, these sessions provide a great introduction to the learning environment we cultivate for our Wee Explorers camp experiences, our entry-level camp experience for kids ages 4 & 5.

Program sessions will be held monthly from October - December and February - June. Programs occur outdoors as much as possible. We invite young adventurers to explore the natural world through interactive and hands-on lessons, activities, outdoor adventures, and play. This program is held at The Nature Museum and typically involves exploring and learning in nearby-nature that include forest, meadow, pond, river, the Magic Forest Playscape, and our native plant garden.

Although these sessions are developed for students ages 3-6, older students are welcome if interested. Accompanying siblings/children under the age of 3 are also welcome and free with the registration of a primary child.

Program sessions, 9:30-10:30, one Friday per month

Drop-ins are welcome, but registration is strongly encouraged.

Cost: $20 per singular session; $15 for 3 or more sessions.

May 9, 2025: Who Uses a Tree? ????????????

A tree can be home, a buffet, a hiding place, a playground, a water protector, and so much more to all kinds of wildlife! Some wildlife spend their entire life in a tree while other lives depend on trees even if they never touch one. Trees are one of the truest caregivers in our forests, and this week we’ll take a closer look at trees and how they serve as special guardians of their environments.

For kids age 3-6. Registration requested.

June 6, 2025: Who Lives In A Pond?

Pond habitats provide important resources to all kinds of critters, big and small! We’ll discover more about this important habitat and who relies on it by taking a closer look at a few pond-loving species, explore a nearby pond environment, and maybe even capture some pond creatures to investigate with our own eyes! Be sure to come prepared with rainboots or water shoes and clothes that can get wet and dirty.
