Nature Center Preschool Enrollment



Exciting News! Starting January 2010, due to popular demand (yay!), El Dorado Nature Center will be starting a Year-Round Preschool Program. Our classroom is surrounded by 102.5 acres of wildlife habitat, and our trails, grasslands, and ponds create the ideal setting for hands-on learning.

Each day will center around a different nature-related theme, creative exploration and animal interaction activities (see the adorable baby opossum photo, taken during one of my classes last spring.) Children will gain basic school skills (like counting, colors, and socialization), and explore natural treasures through music, movement, stories, art, and open-ended discovery (all within our truly unique, outdoors-enhanced learning environment.)




Unlike most Nature Center classes, registration for our new preschool sessions will be directly through the City of Long Beach, Parks and Recreation Quarterly. This means parents will need to enroll their children online via RecConnect or by phone (562 570-3111.) Please note, the City made some errors in the printed version of the quarterly. Correct information is on RecConnect, the Nature Center website, and is as follows:

Ages 3 1/2 to 5.
Potty-trained children only.
Classes meet twice a week (on Tuesdays and Thursdays.)
$80 per four-week session.
Session One (#51931) 1/12- 2/4, 10-11:30am
Session Two (#51932) 2/16- 3/11, 10-11:30am
