SUMMARY:Preschool Program: Summer Nature Explorers
DESCRIPTION:Families can explore Swedish and Swedish American culture through ASI’s Preschool Program. Designed for children ages 3-5 and their favorite grownups\, this hands-on experience invites grownups and preschoolers to learn side by side through music\, movement\, creative play\, and seasonal activities. Inspired by Swedish preschools\, including forest schools where children spend most of their day outdoors\, this program embraces exploration and activities that build confidence and respect for nature. Participants will visit Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary with ASI educators and Garden Naturalists\, read stories\, sing songs\, and discover the Garden as it changes with the season. During the summer session\, children will learn about pollinators\, explore the trails on a guided sensory hike\, and experience the Garden’s colors\, sounds\, and textures. \nAdditional information: \n\nThe program will take place at the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary. An educator will meet participants at the entrance located close to the free parking lot. Address: 1 Theodore Wirth Pkwy\nMinneapolis\, MN 55405\nThe program has a limited capacity to keep the group together during the nature walk.\nIt takes place rain or shine\, so participants should dress for the weather\, bring sun protection\, and prepare for outdoor play.\nAdult accompaniment and advanced registration are required\, and one adult may attend per registered preschooler.\nAdvanced registration required.\n\nPhoto credit: Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary.
