Our Little Explorers Nature Preschool is South Dakota’s first fully outdoor education program.
Little Explorers Nature Preschool students learn from their environment through guided adventure and build skills with independent hands-on learning. Our teachers, with the help of local community guides, develop students’ exploration skills and their understanding of STEM concepts.
The ages 4-5 session runs June 3-26, every Tuesday-Thursday from 8:00am to 12:00pm. Dropoff occurs within 15 minutes prior class and pickup within 15 minutes after the end of class.
Parents or guardians are responsible for dressing their student in appropriate clothing for being outside, including close-toed shoes, and applying their student’s first round of sunscreen.Payment plans available, please send inquiries to info@sd-discovery.org.
Class materials are provided by the South Dakota Discovery Center out of program fees and donations. Shelter from inclement weather is made possible through a partnership with the Izaak Walton League and use of the Pierre Native Plant Arboretum and Nature Area is made possible through a partnership with the City of Pierre.
