Program Descriptions

Sensing Nature

How do animals use their sense of sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing? Students will discover how animals and humans use their senses to survive by observing a live animal, exploring stops along our outdoor “Sensing Nature Trail,” and much more! Your preschoolers’ five senses are sure to be engaged!

Fall
