Discover It.

Inspiring a Love of Nature Through Play, Exploration, and Wonder

The best science lessons begin with curiosity.

Our Preschool Programs are designed specifically for young learners, using hands-on experiences, live animal ambassadors, movement, stories, and interactive activities to introduce children to the wonders of the natural world.

Every program is developmentally appropriate, engaging, and designed to encourage children to observe, ask questions, make discoveries, and build confidence as young scientists.

Whether we're visiting a preschool classroom, childcare center, library, or early learning event, our goal is to create joyful first experiences with wildlife, science, and nature.

  • Movement, participation, and plenty of curiosity
