Does learning really happen when one’s curiosity is not engaged?

Let the exploring begin!

Of all the ways to learn, we favor curiosity-provoking, child-led, sensory-rich, affirming, even empowering. Much learning happens among visitors spontaneously in the Garden without staff present. However, this section showcases how you and the children in your life can get connected to nature and Ithaca Children’s Garden through programs.
