ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Grab your explorer gear and head out on a pretend safari packed with animal adventures, nature play, and big discoveries!

Adventurers will stalk through the “savanna,” spot creatures, and unleash their inner wild side alongside their favorite grown-up guide to kick-off Happy Trails 2026!

No walk-ins. This early learning program is currently full.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: At Happy Trails, we believe that every day is an adventure waiting to be explored, especially when your little one is accompanied by you! Inspired by the traditional fun of summer day camps for older kids, our Grown Up and Me Adventure Club offers a unique experience tailored for babies and toddlers ages 0 to 3 alongside their favorite grown-ups. This program meets every Monday from 10 to 11:30 for 7 weeks with the same group of families.

INSTRUCTOR: Happy Trails is designed and co-led by our founder, Ms. Kaitlynn, a Family Life Educator. It's built on the Family Life Education framework, her background in child development and family support, and her years leading organic content strategy for the world's leading pregnancy and parenting brand, What To Expect. She teaches alongside Ms. Mallory, our music and movement specialist, a children's musician and librarian with 15+ years of experience working with families. With a background in early childhood development and performance, Ms. Mallory helps babies, toddlers, preschoolers and their grown-ups build early musicality, language, and confidence through real instruments, live ukulele, and singalongs.
