This class is designed to help you and your little one learn together in a zoo atmosphere. We cover animal related topics as well as teach the basics, like ABC’s, counting, and general motor skills. Through this experience, with you as a participating parent, your child will learn important classroom behaviors like sharing, listening, and following instructions. This is an adult & child combo class. This class has a new theme each week. Activities are designed to target 1 to 3 year-olds only.

a small ocean swallowed brings together artworks that embody a sense of ecological entwinement, poetically and experimentally reorienting human relationships to water. The exhibition features work by six intergenerational and international feminist artists: Sholeh Asgary, Patricia Belli, Kiyo Gutiérrez, Jessie Homer French, Erin Jane Nelson, and Sunaura Taylor. Enmeshing their bodies in wetlands and waterways, the artists engage with and respond to the material, sociopolitical, and cultural histories of specific rivers, oceans, aquifers, swamps, and aqueducts. The included works grieve lives lost across species due to human interventions into earth’s waterways and honor paths of resistance and healing enacted by humans individually and collectively. Presented in conjunction with SJMA’s Sowing Sustainability Initiative, the exhibition celebrates water as a model of interconnectivity and nourishes possibilities for responsibility and repair.
