Early Childhood Nature Connection Programs

C5 Studios’ Little Sparrows invite children and families to join our 8-week program this spring.

Our all outdoor rhythmic sessions provide a container for children to explore, investigate, participate, and develop through nature connection. We will meet in local, communal spaces.

Each session will have morning circle time(songs, poetry, movement, etc…) free play, wanders, art & crafts, storytelling, shared meals and community contribution.

Applications are open for children 2.5-6 years old(who are potty independent or close to becoming so) to attend on their own for forest school mornings.

Applications are also open for families with children 1- 3 years. This option is for “parent”/child attendance. Adults attending Little Sparrows with young ones will be learning and participating alongside the children and mentors. This affords adults the opportunity to gain insight into nature connection and developmental practices in early childhood with added parenting support.

**Adult/Child enrollment has a required adult-only orientation for program overview, safety guidelines, and Q & A on Sunday, March 29, 2026 4:00-5:30 pm at C5 Studios.
