DERBY - Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection invite families to a special program for the young explorer at Kellogg Environmental Center from 10-11:30 a.m. July 2.
The center is at 500 Hawthorne Ave.
Adults with children ages 4 and up are invited to attend and help their young children engage in outdoor exploration through stories, activities and a craft.
Join staff from the Center and explore the outdoors around the pond and in the fields.
This program is designed to help the young child learn about the world around them since outdoor exploration and questioning is a vital stage in child development.
The morning program will begin at the Kellogg Environmental Center where participants will be encouraged to see and touch natural objects related to things found on our trails and in the park.
Preschool educator Miss Tina will then lead everyone on an outdoor nature walk focused on children using questioning skills and observations to answer the question: What has been here?
Please come dressed for walking outdoors and the weather.
After the exploration participants will return to the center to share finds and enjoy a snack.
After the program, families are invited to picnic on the grounds, visit the Osborne Homestead Museum located onsite, or hike the trails of Osbornedale State Park to further enjoy the day.
There is no fee to participate, but donations are greatly appreciated.
Registration is required to help plan for materials.
For more information, directions, or to register call 203-734-2513 or email donna.kingston@ct.gov.
This is a press release from DEEP.
