Harvest Adventures for Preschoolers. Join the Verdi EcoSchool for a joyful, hands-on learning experience designed especially for young children ages 3–5.
Harvest Adventures invites preschoolers to explore the magic of gardening, harvesting, cooking, and storytelling through playful, sensory-rich experiences on the Verdi EcoSchool campus.
Over four weeks, children will dig into nature, discover where food comes from, and engage their creativity through stories, movement, and simple cooking projects - all in a warm, nurturing environment.
What to Expect Each Day
Each session follows a gentle, predictable rhythm to help children feel comfortable and engaged:
Welcome Circle – songs, connection, and introduction to the day
Story Time – engaging books that connect to the weekly theme
