Budding Naturalists

At Riverbend we believe in the joy that comes from time spent outdoors. Budding Naturalists, our Caregiver and Me Program, seeks to foster a connection with nature for our youngest learners.

Program Overview:

Join Riverbend educators for a preschool-friendly nature-based program that includes a story, art, a nature activity, and a “hike” around our preserve. Every week we’ll gather in Riverbend’s Farmhouse to begin the fun!
