NYS Parks, Recreation, Historic Preservation Katonah, NY (March 8, 2022) - John Jay Homestead State Historic Site is excited to offer a fun and educational preschool class this spring.

Join us for Little Explorers!  This program, for kids ages 3-5 and their caregivers, is designed to get little learners excited about the environment.  Each week we will explore a different part of the property at John Jay Homestead and complete a take-home activity while learning and having fun.  After the class, the Red Barn Discovery Center will be open for imaginative play until 3pm.

This eight-week series runs on Tuesdays from May 3rd -June 21st from 1pm-2pm.  The cost is $80 for members of Friends of John Jay Homestead and $100 for nonmembers.  The class is held rain or shine. Space is limited.  Registration is required.

To register visit johnjayhomestead.org/events. Please note that should the class need to be cancelled due to low enrollment you will be notified 10 days prior to the first class.
