Discover the wonders of the outdoors with your young child. Snail Trails is a year-round nature exploration program designed specifically for curious children ages 2 to 5 and their parents or caregivers. Together, we will foster a deep connection to the natural world and build lasting community friendships.
Join Laura, an experienced nature-based early childhood educator and naturalist, for a morning of song, stories, art, and play, as we explore the seasonal changes at Osamequin Farm.
Laura has taught at Mass Audubon’s Arcadia Nature Preschool, the Nest at the Wheeler School, Audubon Society of RI, and currently Bainbridge Preschool in Providence. She believes that when children engage with nature, their curiosity and a sense of wonder is sparked. Experiences outdoors build self-confidence, resiliency, and a deep love and empathy for all living things.
Since the summer of 2023, this 2 hour nature immersion program has taken place at beautiful Osamequin Farm, surrounded by its winding trails, meandering creeks, flower fields, and forests of oak and hemlock.
Osamequin Farm offers the ideal location to learn and be inspired by the natural world. The Farm is also home to many small flower, herb, and vegetable farms as well as a few friendly animals, which lend to the sense of community and magic of Snail Trails.
