It's Registration Season!
Playful Nature Explorers Opening 4/26
ICG’s Playful Nature Explorers is for children ages 2.5-6. Our research-based, nature-centered preschool brings a world of discovery, learning, and joy to your child through nature and play immersion.

Following the rhythm of the seasons, our play-based curriculum allows the natural curiosity of young children to lead our explorations, experiments, and creative expressions.

Registration for 2022-'23 opens Tuesday April 26! Please direct any questions to register@ithacachildrensgarden.org in the meantime.
After School @ ICG Opening 4/26
After School @ ICG provides an enriching after school experience for children K-5th grade.

After a long day in school, an afternoon full of nature, play, and hands-on exploration is just what your child needs!

Outdoor free play helps children unwind from school while building relationships with the natural world and developing critical cognitive, social, and physical skills.

Registration for the 2022-'23 school year opens Tuesday April 26! Please direct any questions to register@ithacachildrensgarden.org in the meantime.
Gaia Circle Open Now
Gaia Circle in the Garden is for middle school aged grrrls of all kinds: those who love their girl selves, or those for whom girlness has never felt right; those who haven’t thought much about what it means to be a girl, and those who feel no gender limits at all.

Gaia Circle encourages an attitude of exploration, respect, and care for the natural world, ourselves, and each other.

Gaia Circle is a FREE program for 6-8th graders and meets at Ithaca Children’s Garden on Fridays from 4:00-6:00 pm.

Registration for Gaia Circle is open now, and the spring session starts Friday, May 6th!
