Chickadees (Ages 3-4)

Chickadees, our summer preschool program for 3 to 4-year-olds!

The Chickadee program is for our littlest campers ages 3 and 4. Tucked away from the crowd the Chickadees are based out of our ice house on the far side of Ketcha. The ice house is a cozy cabin renovated to accommodate our preschoolers set in an expansive forest play space. Chickadees follow a day typical of our popular school year pre-k program. Nature based themes and activities, stories, games, crafts and daily circle time. There is abundant open play time for exploring and learning in the woods, the garden, at the farm, and hiking the trails. Chickadees have swim time in the pond and water play time throughout the day. To attend children need to be out of diapers and able to follow safety rules.

Program Days & Hours

  • Available days are Tuesday through Friday
  • Morning Sessions: 8:30am-12:00pm
