Ecosystem Exploration - Amherst, MA 2025

*This program is best suited for explorers who are ready for a more full day. We recommend that children have had one year of school beyond preschool. In this group, we will be exploring the ecosystems in our community. We will visit habitats in close proximity to The Common School and around Larch Hill. We will study the cause and effect of different inputs in our environment such as weather, water, erosion and changes in animal life. We will take hikes and excursions and engage with nature daily including harvesting and tending to our own school garden. Each day will also include time for free play, arts and crafts, stories, building activities, and of course water play.
