Little Hikers Nature School

Little Hikers Nature School Little Hikers is a nature-based program where our day-to-day activities are centered around play and discovery.

As our children explore the world around them and ask questions, we provide an emergent curriculum based on their interests, skills, and needs.

Sometimes it’s about the destination, sometimes it’s all about getting there. We explored new spots this week, helped plant with Durham Parks and Recreation, and cleaned up a massive bag of trash. We conquered new heights, smelled the flowers, helped our community and had loads of fun!

With the beautiful weather this week, we finally got to really explore the river. We threw sticks, dug in the sand, splashed in the water, and some kiddos even sat down in the river! The river is cold, and we still had so much fun!!!

More snow and ice exploration this week. We painted, sat on, carried and used a microscope on ice and snow this week. The kiddos got a close up look under the microscope! They used watercolors to make the snow and ice even more beautiful. One friend carried a huge chunk of snow, and another used it as a resting spot!

Some days are better than others! Those days are SNOW DAYS! We had the best time this week with the snow and ice. We spent time sliding down hills, exploring in the woods, experimenting with water colors, and slipping and sliding on our very short hike!
