River Legacy Nature School provides an environment that encourages a child’s inborn sense of wonder to flourish through indoor activities at the Living Science Center and outdoor exploration.

The Living Science Center looks out over a forested park, allowing 3- and 4-year-old children to watch classroom lessons come to life. Students watch the leaves change colors as they discuss the “hows and whys” of the changing seasons, or observe a squirrel storing acorns while learning how animals prepare for winter.

Every Nature School session includes a trip into the woods, weather permitting. Through exploration of the environment and its creatures, children learn not only about nature, but also about their place in it.

Children attend Nature School one day each week, in the morning or afternoon, and are enrolled for the entire school year. Classes run for 30 weeks, from September through May.

Classes meet in the Living Science Center, located in River Legacy Parks. Morning classes meet from 9 to 11:30 a.m.; afternoon classes meet from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Morning and afternoon classes are offered for 3- and 4-year-old children Monday through Thursday; Friday classes are offered only in the morning.
