It’s never too early to connect to the earth.
Toddlers (18 months to 4 years old) and their caregivers are invited to explore the water, mud, sticks, and stones in the great outdoors with Shoresh’s nature guide and educator, Andrea Schaffer.
Together, we will adventure through parks and ravines in a toddler-friendly manner while exploring nature, singing songs, and making connections to Jewish values and holidays.
Register for Summer now! Scroll down to preview Fall dates and locations (registration coming soon).

I’ve never seen [my child] so engaged, excited and eager in a program as he was with you on Sunday – so thank you thank you – it means a lot to our family. I’ve have also really enjoyed being there with the kids! – Nitzanim Parent
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What if I have multiple children of different ages?
If you want to join Nitzanim with two children, you are eligible for our sibling discount. When registering, be sure to sign up for the group that is suitable for your older child. The younger one will have a blast no matter what. So come and join a community program with many helping hands.
Is there a washroom on site?
There are public washrooms available at our programming spaces. Still, washrooms in parks and ravines are not always open. We ask that you ensure participants to whom this does apply have used the washroom before the program.
What happens in the event of rain or inclement weather?
Children should be dressed for the weather and spare clothes and layers should always be brought along. If the weather is not safe for outdoor play, we will notify all participants via email an hour before the start time.
