Calling all little nature explorers! Join Youth, Family, and Diversity Programs Coordinator Mandie Curtis Banks and Mari, her special caterpillar friend, for mornings full of stories, singing, dancing, and playing as we dig into nature. This in-person series is a free program for babies – PreK aged children and their caregivers. Get ready to listen like a deer, observe like an owl, and dance like a duck at Mandie’s Nature Nook!
