Little Shepherds Nature Lab offers drop-off preschool and kinder-garden classes five days a week. We also provide after-school enrichment opportunities for grades 1-12. Our mission is to cultivate deeper resilience in the next generation with an embodied approach to academic achievement. Our program is informed by a consortium of parents, educators, environmental scientists, mental health specialists, gardeners, musicians, and artists.
