Everbloom’s
Family Groups
Providing opportunities for grounding, connection, and diverse sensory experiences year-round by intentionally engaging with the unique qualities of each season.
Messy Play Group
Ages 1-4 with a caregiver
At this age, children learn primarily through sensory experiences and motor activities. With this in mind, our sessions are designed to provide a range of activities that engage all the senses. Through exploring various sights, smells, textures, tastes, sounds, and opportunities for movement, you and your child will be able to fully immerse yourselves in the enriching world of outdoor sensory play… and get pretty messy too!
