Welcome to Nature Babies, our newest program designed to immerse babies in the wonders of the natural world and to create community for their caregivers. Through gentle, hands-on activities, we strive to awaken a deep and lasting love for nature in your little ones and create a place for you to feel seen, heard, connected and grounded. Our experienced educator will guide children and their caregivers on nature walks, sensory explorations, and animal visits, all while building community within a warm and nurturing environment. Join us in fostering a sense of wonder, curiosity, and connection to the Earth through the gentle and holistic approach of Nature Babies.

​

Our programs run rain or shine. We will cancel via email at least 2 hours ahead, in the event of severe weather (Thunderstorms, Wind Chill Warning, Wind Warning etc). We are closed whenever Simcoe County cancels the School Buses but will send an email as well. You will receive a credit to use towards a future class.

​

​

**WINTER SESSIONS** 90 Minutes

We will gather in our heated Yurt for the first hour of the program, offering time to connect, and for the babies to play with a variety of sensory experiences. We will then head out for a Nature Walk in our private Forest, to explore and experience the sights, sounds and smells of the Wintery Wonderland.
