Fall fun awaits at Sheldrake’s popular program for preschool-aged children. Get the kids outside for STEM fun and adventures on our 60 acres of protected land. Through a combination of trail exploration, games, stories, and other activities, we’ll enjoy loads of nature fun while observing the impact of the changing season on wildlife and habitats. Our naturalist-led program provides the opportunity for enrichment, connection with nature, and the company of other young enthusiasts.
