Programs
The HNA Tiny Trailblazers program (formerly "Toddlers in Nature" immerses toddlers (ages 18 months - 4 years) and their caregivers in the wonders of the natural world. This hands-on, sensory-rich experience uses nature-focused activity stations to spark joy, creativity, and enhance motor and language development. Little ones will discover the beauty of the outdoors through activities like leaf collecting, bug hunting, and puddle jumping.
This program gently introduces young children to social interactions, while providing adults with valuable insights into seasonal nature and child development. Along the way, participants will enjoy guided nature walks, storytelling under the trees. Join us for a delightful journey of exploration and growth in the great outdoors!
