Snails & Turkey Tails Nature School Class

For children ages 3-6, Snails & Turkey Tails Nature School is a nature discovery class for children ages 3–6, inviting children to slow down, look closely, and enjoy the wonders of the natural world. Through hands-on activities, simple hikes, and imaginative play, children build curiosity and confidence outdoors. Exploring outdoors in all types of weather helps to build confidence and resilience as children try new things, gain new skills, and get to know themselves as part of a small, nurturing, and playful group. Classes meet weekly at Lake Lagunitas in Fairfax. Advance registration is required. 8 children max.

Benefits of spending regular time in nature provides…

• Boosts physical development
  Outdoor play strengthens gross motor skills, balance, coordination, and spatial awareness as children climb, run, dig, and explore varied terrain.

• Supports emotional regulation and resilience
  Nature’s calming sensory environment helps young children manage big feelings, reduce stress, and build the ability to self-regulate through unhurried, open-ended play.

• Enhances curiosity, focus, and early learning
  Natural spaces spark wonder and inquiry, encouraging children to observe, ask questions, experiment, and concentrate for longer periods—all foundational skills for later academic success.
