Parent and Preschooler Adventures

Darke County Parks...

Hey Parents and Preschoolers! Looking for some hands-on learning about the natural world all around you? 

Join a Naturalist at Shawnee Prairie for a monthly, hour-long program designed to investigate nature through activities, games and exploring.  There are programs for 2-3 year olds (held on Wednesdays) and a program for 4-5 year olds (held on Thursdays).

March’s topic is The Whoo’s, What’s and Where’s of Owls.  Owls are secretive and oh so intriguing.  Many of Ohio’s owls begin nesting in February or March, while other birds are just trying to keep warm.  We’ll listen to the calls, talk about what they eat, and learn as much as we can about these ‘tigers of the night.’ 

March’s 2-3 year old dates are the 16th and the 30th and the 4-5 year old date will be the 17th.  Each program runs from 10-11 am.  Parents must attend along with their preschooler.  

Pre-registration is required and the cost is $2.00.  Also coming up in April we will celebrate the Earth and in May we will learn about life in a Log House.  Call the Nature center for more information at 937-548-0165.  We hope to see you in March!
