Program Information

Little Buds is a half-day enrichment program designed for curious young artists ages 3-5. Young artists experience art and nature through hands-on play and exploration of the Park. Activities include seasonal art projects, sculpture walks, creek exploration, hiking, music and movement, reading, special guests, family field trips, and plenty of play. Small class sizes and incredible teacher-student ratios allow for a safe, open-ended early childhood education experience.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. – noon
Check-in: 8:30 a.m. – 9 a.m.
$370/artist/month; $320/sibling/month* + third party processing fees

Registration is ongoing; artists may join at the start of any month from September through May. The program includes seasonal family field trips and monthly family art parties. You may register for all sessions at once or register monthly. Maximum capacity: 12 artists. All artists must be able to independently use the restroom.

The monthly fee includes all artmaking materials. A packing list of personal items will be noted in the Little Buds Family Handbook, which will be emailed to you after we’ve received your registration. Families will also receive access to the Family Folder, which includes a monthly schedule that notes important dates, such as Winter and Spring Breaks, field trips, and family art parties. 

If you would like to register for additional months after you've completed your registration or pay month-by-month, please email [email protected]. We will assist you. 

We welcome all learners. If your young artist requires special accommodations, please contact Elsie Tuttle, Learning & Engagement Specialist, to discuss their needs: [email protected]..
