3-4 year olds

Mini Shedders

How do I, and my body, connect with the people and communities around me?

This is the heart of our Mini Shedders program. Through immersive experiences and activities, children aged 3-4 develop essential skills that foster self-awareness, body awareness, and an understanding of their connection to their communities and the planet.

Each session offers hands-on learning and fine motor skill development, centered around engaging themes and real-world topics.
