Forest Play Days

Upcoming Play Date:

Wed, April 10th, 2024

Opening Circle 9:00AM – Closing 12:00PM

Parents and children ages 0-5 are invited to join Ithaca Forest Preschool for a morning of exploring, stories and fire at our beloved Trillium Camp located at 4-H Acres (418 Lower Creek Road, Ithaca, NY). 

We believe the seeds of a deep connection to nature are in each of us from the time we are born, and we look forward to learning and playing together with your children! Bring water and snacks; there may be opportunities to cook on the fire!

Forest Play Days are a great way to get out into the woods with your kids and experience total nature immersion. It’s also chance to look into whether a forest preschool might be right for your family!

If interested, you will have a chance to meet Ithaca Forest Preschool Staff and learn about our philosophy and curriculum.

This event is FREE with advanced RSVP (below)
