About the provider
Nature School LA was established in 2018. Its mission is to connect children with the natural world to foster self-realization, cooperation, and stewardship for the planet.
The program welcomes families with children ages 2 to 11 years. Children do not need to be fully potty trained. Sessions are held rain or shine. If weather is too intense, class may relocate indoors such as the California Science Center. Teacher-to-student ratio on full class days is 1:5.
