A Little Magic of the Seasons brings the seasonal themes of our original Magic of the Seasons program to babies and young toddlers in a way designed especially for their stage of development.

While our older children may investigate, create, and dive deeper into each week's nature topic, A Little Magic keeps things simple and sensory. Little ones experience the changing seasons through touch, sound, movement, songs, stories, simple process art, and hands-on exploration alongside their grown-up.

One week might mean squishing and scooping something inspired by the garden; another might mean touching leaves, listening for birds, exploring flowers, or getting little hands messy with a seasonal art experience. There’s no expectation to sit through a lesson or complete a project. The emphasis is on experiencing, noticing, and exploring together.

Designed specifically for ages 0–3 with a participating grown-up.

Meet Miss Katherine

Miss Katherine is a fun-loving teacher who’s all about family, music, and finding joy in nature. With a degree in Sociology and Social Work, Katherine’s experience includes working in an elementary school autistic support classroom, but her biggest role lately has been as a full-time mom to her two little ones, ages 4 and 2. They’ve inspired her to explore educational methods like Montessori and Waldorf, and she plans to bring elements of these into her class. Whether she’s in the garden or the kitchen, Miss Katherine loves learning and creating, and she’s excited to share her peaceful connection to nature with her students as they journey through the seasons together.

Note from Ms Katherine

“With Magic of the Seasons, I hope to share knowledge about the rhythms of the seasons, traditions and nature. 

However, the true magic I wish to impart, is the feeling one has when they enter a space that was crafted with love and intention. I hope children see stories told with handmade puppets and think “I can do this too.” I hope they dig in to the sensory bins and crafts with a feeling of satisfaction and pride, knowing “I made this myself.” And as we follow the rhythm of the year and go through festivals and traditions we deepen the sense of community connection, children can feel “I belong here.” 

In a growing technological world, I feel the importance of creating an intentional time and space to connect with one another and nature. When I reflect on the last two years of Magic of the Seasons, I see it has been a gift to myself and my family. We too have been learning to slow down and find the joy in every season together and have made our own traditions.

I so look forward to sharing this with you.”
