Little Buds Club Spring Cohort

Little Buds Club is a 7-week, child-led nature and creative play cohort designed for children ages 18 months–5 years and their caregivers. Each session offers rich sensory play, open-ended art, and hands-on exploration inspired by nature and curiosity — thoughtfully woven with Early Literacy practices like Dialogic Reading and foundational Early Math concepts grounded in the Building Blocks for Early Childhood Mathematics approach. Children are encouraged to move at their own rhythm, explore what sparks their interest, and participate in ways that feel right for them — whether that means diving right in, observing quietly, or moving freely between activities. Caregivers are invited to slow down, follow their child’s lead, and build meaningful connections with other families. Because we gather consistently over seven weeks, relationships deepen, confidence grows, and community takes root in a warm, inclusive environment. We can’t wait to welcome you and your Little Bud(s) into this special season together. 🌿

What to Wear

Please dress yourself and your child(ren) for the outdoors and for getting messy. Hands-on play is part of the magic!

Parking + Arrival

At Benjamin's Hope, please park in the lot past the barn next to the main building. We’ll gather right outside the barn to begin. A restroom is available inside. Their open campus also welcomes you to return anytime to visit the animals and explore.

What to Expect

Each session begins with a brief welcome, then you’re free to explore the thoughtfully prepared activities at your own pace — no pressure, just connection and play.

When you see bubbles floating through the air, that’s your cue we’re wrapping up.

We can’t wait to begin this meaningful season together. 💛
