Our outdoor program

Magnolia Explorers

Welcome to Magnolia Explorers, where little feet make big discoveries! Specializing in outdoor adventures, we offer a captivating educational experience for young explorers in Magnolia.

Our explorations extend beyond the classroom to scenic locales such as Discovery Park, the bustling Ballard Locks, the vibrant Fisherman's Terminal, the serene Lawton Park, Ella Bailey Park, the charming streets and playgrounds of Magnolia Downtown, and the enriching Magnolia Library.

At Magnolia Explorers, we are committed to teaching our community's youngest members about neighborliness and the natural world around them. Our outdoor program is specifically designed to engage preschoolers with the unique flora and fauna of Discovery Park and other local sites, fostering a love for nature and learning from an early age. Join us for a journey through Magnolia, where education and adventure go hand in hand to promote health, curiosity, and community spirit in our littlest learners!
