Hands-on environmental education for your youngest crowd!
The Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center is excited to announce our Creepy Crawlers Garden Program for 2023
Crafted in line with Maryland’s Early Childhood Learning Standards, our classes are designed for 2- to 5-year-olds (accompanied by an adult) to explore the natural work in our Creepy Crawler Garden — through games, crafts, stories, and most importantly, hands-on participation.
Classes are held from 10:00 to 11:15 am, rain or shine. Everyone should dress for the weather.
Space is limited.
Pre-registration and pre-payment are required.
