Preschool Programs for 2010-2011

The Little Sprout's Club is an interactive program designed for children ages 2 ½ -6 years and their parents. Together, you and your little sprout will listen to stories, do hands-on activities, and cultivate a sense of wonder for the natural world. Little Sprouts is free for Selby Gardens Members and children; adult Non-Selby Members pay a $17 admission fee. Sessions are on the first Tuesday of the month, from 10:30 am to 11:30.  Also in October there will be a Little Sprouts' Halloween Parade on the 26th. (See schedule below.)

Little Sprouts occurs on Tuesdays, 10:30 to 11:30 - Meet at Banyan Trees.

Our Selby Seedlings Program is also an interactive program designed for children ages 3-6 years and their parents, but is limited to 15 children maximum. Due to the smaller and more intimate group size, you and your seedling will enjoy five themed sessions which include stories, songs, more hands-on activities, as well as adventures out in the Gardens. Selby Gardens Members pay $50 registration for each 5-session program. Non-Selby Members pay $75 registration for each 5- session program.  Additional siblings for Members and Non-members are an additional $25 each. The Seedlings program starts on Sept. 14th and continues on the third Tuesday of the month, from 10:30 am to 11:30 am through May 17, 2011. The December session will fall on the second Tuesday. (See schedule below.)

      Selby Seedlings occurs on Tuesdays, 10:30 to 11:30 - Meet at the Selby Gardens Kids Corner.

      Pre-registration required. Program limited to 15 children.
