OUR CLASSES
“Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves.”
— Stephen Moss, naturalist and author
Snails & Turkey Tails is a nature enrichment program for young children and their caregivers, rooted in the belief that the natural world is the most nurturing and inspiring classroom of all. Our “classroom” has no walls — instead, it stretches under open blue skies, among trees whispering in the wind, along sandy beaches, and through forests alive with birdsong and the rustle of leaves.
​
Here, children are invited to explore, wonder, and grow at their own pace. Each day is shaped by curiosity, play, and seasonal rhythms. Whether discovering a snail trailing through the dew, watching mushrooms bloom after rain, or simply sitting still to listen to a chickadee's call — we honor these moments as meaningful learning experiences.
​
At Snails & Turkey Tails, we see childhood as a sacred time — rich with beauty, discovery, and wonder. We strive to nurture a deep connection to the earth, encourage confidence through hands-on exploration, and foster joyful relationships between children, caregivers, and the land they walk on. Together, we cultivate not only early learning, but lifelong reverence for nature.
