ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

What We’re About

Our Nature Arts Program provides a safe and wondrous environment for children to explore storytelling, mother nature, science, and most importantly, outdoor play. The goal is to encourage expressive, unstructured creativity through play and arts.

Our small group of explorers go on discovery outings in the East Falls neighborhood and return to the library with impressions, materials, and ideas for artistic creation.

These uniquely curated enrichment activities are designed to supplement a traditional school day while fostering your child’s natural curiosity and independence.
