WSP Parent-Child Program:
Nature and Nurture Family Connections Outdoor Series
Fall/Winter 2025
Six Friday Mornings:
September 26, October 10, October 24, November 7, November 21, December 12 9:30 - 11:30 am
Our Parent-Child program empowers parents and caregivers during the precious early years. Through quiet observation and shared conversation in a safe, welcoming space, you'll develop deeper trust in your child's natural development while building community with other families.
Nature and Nurture Families will gather on six Friday mornings at a local nature preserve or open space to meander in nature with other parents and their little wanderers. We will recharge, share, and connect, nourishing both ourselves and our children. As we explore and discover together, we will learn ways to cultivate a sense of ease and gratitude for the gifts of being in the outdoors with young ones, and support one another in the joyful and sometimes arduous business of parenting them. Classes include a shared trail-friendly snack, some simple nature-inspired crafts, playful songs and rhymes and occasional stories.
All families and identities are welcome.
Registration is for one family (up to 2 adults) and their children 0-36 months.
Tuition includes:
- One online orientation gathering for adults on Monday, September 15th, 2025, 8:30pm - 9pm.
