Buds

Buds is the Rainbeau Ridge program for 3- & 4-year olds in a drop-off program.

Like all of the programs at Rainbeau Ridge, Buds provides a unique experience for kids to explore and appreciate the cycle of nature through hands-on exploration on the farm, art projects and in the kitchen. It provides the opportunity for participants to do age-appropriate, hands-on activities with animals, natural materials and food and to do fun farm chores. Activities are designed around a session's theme, with the day's learning experience taking multiple forms. Click here for a sample day's session. All of our programs are run by members of the Rainbeau Ridge Team.

Please Note:
Our Buds program is a drop-off program. We have experienced many situations where 3-year olds who have never been in a drop-off program before have a hard time separating, so please take this into account as you consider registering your 3-year old. We do not have a gradual separation schedule as new schools do in the fall term and we do not allow parents to stay with their child.

We require that all participants in our Buds program be potty trained.

Please be sure when you register that this program fits into your schedule. Refunds of the registration fee less $35 will be made until 4 weeks prior to the start of class, after which no refunds will be offered. Thank you!

Additional Notes:
We recognize that at times people may have a sibling who is home from school or another program, or who have a relative or friend who wants to visit with you, however, we can only accomodate your Bud in the program and do not permit other guests to come to the class.
