Our Nature Tykes Preschool Program gives your 4-5 year old the opportunity to learn and grow independently in this 1.5 hour drop-off program. It is a great supplement to, or step towards, a full-day preschool program. Registration is by the month, and each session is designed to encourage your little one to ask questions, explore the outdoors, and develop important classroom skills as we hike in Black Pond Woods, meet live animals, make crafts, and run hands-on experiments. This month we will explore different ways we can protect nature! Activities are indoors and outdoors – so make sure to dress for the weather!

This month's sessions will take place on February 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th. 

Registration is required by January 30th. Register for this event online, or call 734-997-1553. 

Have a 1-3 year old that is not quite old enough to join Nature Tykes? Take a look at our Nature Storytime program that also runs on Wednesday mornings.

Every month, Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum visitors get up close and personal with some of our favorite creatures from the natural world. Join us for a meet and greet with critters from 10-4:00 pm on Saturday (with a mid-day “Animal Naptime”) and 1-4:00 pm on Sunday.  This month we will explore decomposers!
