9:30 AM - 1:30 PM    Kids Naturally - Tuesday March Program
Kids Naturally is an innovative outdoor program for kids. It uses stories and creative play to create a spark, and gives children the chance to kindle that spark though free-play while immersed in nature. At Kids Naturally, each day begins with a story and a collaborative game. Then kids explore the woods to play, discover and learn together about the nature around them, guided by Kids Naturally Mentors and staff. All the while they strengthen important physical and social/emotional skills essential to child development. This program takes place at Nahanton Park and offers a monthly enrollment.   Have a question?  Reach out to the staff at Kids Naturally at info@kids-naturally.com
