Children ages 3-4 Years | non-separating At ECFE, we know the importance of cultivating in children (and adults) a love of nature. We have a lovely outdoor space adjacent to our building and are offering a parent-child class that connects young learners with nature, creativity and scientific inquiry. This is a non-separating class where children and parents explore the natural world. We spend as much time outdoors as possible; when weather prevents outdoor activity we bring nature in. We will meet rain or shine, dress appropriately.
