Child/Caregiver Programs
The Common School’s Child/Caregiver Program is designed to engage children ages 1 - 4 years, along with caregivers, in outdoor exploration that will spark curiosity and joyful learning. Each class will offer an "invitation to play" that will allow children and caregivers to engage as they feel ready and comfortable. While the "invitation" is the launching point for the day, the activities are designed to be open ended so we never know where the children's play will take us...which is the most exciting and fun part of the journey!

Spring Woods Walks invites families to step into the quiet magic of the season, wandering through the crisp trails of Larch Hill Conservation and the gentle fields of Bramble Hill Farm. Together, caregivers and little ones gather in community, noticing the textures, sounds, and rhythms of the natural world while deepening their connection to each other. Each walk is guided, mindful, and unhurried, offering space to explore, wonder, and simply be outdoors, letting winter’s stillness and beauty nurture both parent and child.
