Bee and Blossom
Nature, Art and Play for Ages 0-8!
Come join us at the large barn and explore acres of beautiful land! Play, be creative, learn and explore in a warm community.
This fall, we are excited to offer a program for children and their caregivers on Fridays from September 11 - November 13, 2026.
We will also offer Bee and Blossom on another weekday - either on Mondays or Wednesdays depending on how many families are interested in either day.
"My 3 children (ages 7, 4, and 2) have been attending Bee + Blossom at Piti Theatre for the past year. My children can be slow to warm up in groups of peers but the teachers Elana and Laura are fantastic at making them feel comfortable and welcome. It’s never long before they have them laughing and joining the fun! They have created an engaging and inclusive program that provides the perfect balance of structure and independent exploration even with the wide range of ages. The children have the freedom to explore and interact with nature through curiosity and wonder in a “yes” environment amongst the beautiful setting of Avery Brook. We are so excited to be coming back for the fall!"
