 Spreading Preschool Joy & Wonder
We're bringing the lessons of our book Cultivating Joy & Wonder to a widening circle of educators. At evening workshops in Waterbury, educator Linda Wellings worked with childcare providers on assembling healthy snacks, planting seeds, and more. "I was so impressed by their dedication after a long day of caring for kids," she said.
She shared more activities at the kickoff event for Let's Grow Kids, a public education campaign to raise understanding of how important the earliest years are to Vermont's children. Our goal? To get all kids outside, moving, and connected!
Are you an early childhood educator? Join us for our Project Seasons for Young Learners Workshop, July 14-17. Scholarships available!

 New Walking Trail
We've added a new stretch of walking trail that connects the Lake Trail to the Farm Trail, making a great loop ( see map). We've also installed several new benches along our trails, so come stroll, relax, and enjoy the views alongside our pastures. |
