The Grove
Join us for Wild Child Playgroup at The Grove! Enjoy playing in our mud kitchen, watering our garden, making process-based art, and spending time in nature together. This program is 100% outdoors so your child will have the freedom to explore and play how they want to. Wild Child encourages curiosity, creativity, and care for the earth.
Connect with other nature-minded families and your local community at The Grove. Registration is required.
