Early Learners
Engaging early learners and their grown ups in the outdoors offers immersive ways to connect with nature and our role in its beauty. Preschool Environmental Education Project (PEEP) is a multi-pronged nature-based early childhood program for early learners and their grown ups. Our programming connects the youngest children to the outdoors and develop lifelong relationships with nature in their neighborhoods.
Partnerships
We have school-year Preschool Environmental Education Project (PEEP) partnerships available for childcare centers, preschools and kindergarten classes. PEEP offers fun indoor programs at your location for ages 1 - 3 yrs old and field trips to the Urban Ecology Center starting at age 3. Meet and exceed early learning standards while celebrating the seasons with your class!
