Seedlings: Desert Botanical Garden Preschool Program
A science-based enrichment program for preschoolers

Young children discover the wonders of the desert alongside their parent or other caregiver in our nature preschool program. A new theme is introduced each week and is full of new discovery centers, songs to sing, yummy snacks and engaging activities to captivate young minds. 

Guided by caring and experienced teachers, Seedlings blends the Garden’s unique resources with imaginative and fun ways to learn about plants and animals in our desert backyard. We use music, stories, arts and crafts, nature walks, movement, touch and observation to explore the theme each week.
