Preschool Adventures Program

The Adventures Preschool Program at Shelburne Farms is filled with age-appropriate, hands-on activities that encourage a child's natural curiosity and increase awareness and appreciation of the world around us. Each class focuses on a different topic related to nature, agriculture and the environment, and addresses various learning styles. We believe that a conservation ethic begins at an early age with outdoor experiences.  We spend time outside with our children each day -- exploring in the woods, visiting the farm animals, harvesting in the garden and hiking around the farm. We provide a safe and positive environment for children to explore and learn about nature and agriculture so they will continue to explore and spend time outside.  We hope that these experiences continue throughout their lives and that they always appreciate and care for the world around them.
