Beginner Buddies is a program that allows young children the chance to play, learn, and interact with animals. This program is designed for pre-school aged children from ages 1-5. The program includes crafts, exploration stations, games, hands-on time with animals and access to our playground. This program is self led, and allows you to interact with the different stations at your leisure. This is a great way for parents, grandparents, or guardians to spend some extra time with their child while exploring and having fun without having to worry about cleaning up the mess! The themes for each session can be found below; the crafts and exploration stations will go with 2 different themes per month.

• Each class costs $10 per child

• The first adult accompanying the child is free
