Community Involvement

A small, raised, metal garden bed filled with soil and plants is in the foreground. Everyone is smiling and raising their hands in a celebratory manner.

At Little Learning Grove, we believe that some of the most meaningful learning happens beyond the classroom — out in the world, alongside family and community. That’s why we’ve set aside one Friday each month during the school year for a special, family-friendly learning excursion.

These outings are thoughtfully planned and led by our LLG teaching team, and they tie directly into what your child has been exploring in our thematic units. From nature hikes to museum visits to local farm days, each experience is designed to extend classroom learning, spark curiosity, and create shared memories.

Participation is always encouraged, but never required. If your child would like to join us, we ask that they be accompanied by at least one adult family member (mom, dad, auntie, grandpa — all are welcome!). Siblings, cousins, and family friends are invited to come along too — the more, the merrier!

These monthly excursions are not only a time for joyful, hands-on learning — they’re also a wonderful way to connect with other families, build community, and celebrate all the growth your child is experiencing.

We can’t wait to adventure with you — both within our classroom walls and far beyond them.

A group of people, including children and adults, are seated watching a demonstration inside a barn. The barn has wooden walls and metal roofing. There are posters and signs on the walls, and a display area surrounded by a wooden fence in front of the group. The audience appears engaged with the presenter, who may be giving a talk related to farm or agricultural activities.

Here are a few of the meaningful adventures we've shared together as part of our monthly community outings:

  • 🐮 Crowe’s Nest Farm – Farm animals, nature trails, and hands-on discovery

  • 🚒 Local Fire Station Visit – Meet-and-greet with real-life heroes

  • 🌳 Circle C Park Play & Picnic – Outdoor fun and family connection

  • 🌈 RainbowDance Class – Movement, rhythm, and joyful self-expression

  • 🌱 Garden Planting Day at LLG – Digging, planting, and growing together

  • 🌼 Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center – Exploring native plants and nature trails

Each outing is carefully chosen to enrich our learning themes, celebrate community, and offer families a chance to connect in a relaxed, playful setting.
