Here is a quick tour of our outdoor learning space! Many options for hands-on and imaginative play. We also venture out of this space too.
Before children can care for the Earth, they need to get their hands in it, explore it, and fall in love with it. 🌎💚
Happy Earth Day from Dandelion Discoveries 🌼
Dubuque, Iowa
✨ 2025 was full of muddy boots, big discoveries, and even larger smiles! ✨
This year, we kicked off our first year of year-round programming with our Nature Play Experience and Discovery Days, building on our summer camp adventures.
Every day outside was a chance to explore, play, and grow together! 🌼
Thank you to all our families for making this year so special! 💛
