Designed especially for children ages 2–5, Little Herons offers opportunities throughout the year to explore Brookwood’s Forest School, move and stretch in the Yoga Loft, follow children’s natural curiosity, and spend time together in a warm, welcoming setting.
From autumn foraging and winter woodland adventures to yoga, storytelling, and springtime exploration, each session is thoughtfully led by Brookwood faculty and shaped around the way young children learn best: through movement, imagination, wonder, and play.
