Nature Fun-Day: Nature & Literacy

Join us as we kick off the school year and our 2026-2027 Nature Fun-Day Series with our first Nature Fun-Day of the season, "Nature & Literacy." This Nature Fun-Day will celebrate, nature and how it inspires writers and readers alike! Stations will be set up all around the center and each one will focus on a different nature-themed children’s book. Each station will also incorporate a craft that goes along with its respected book. So come learn, create, and discover with us as we explore nature and literacy!

Books Bridge Bus: The Books Bridge Bus will also be joining us to celebrate and each child will be able to receive a free book!
