KATONAH, NY — The John Jay Homestead is a great place to get a feel for the historic political struggles that made our country what it is today but a program for the Hudson Valley's littlest explorers will help cultivate an appreciation for our region's natural history as well.
A program, for kids ages 3 to 5 and their caregivers, is designed to get young explorers excited about the environment. Each week, kids, their families and experts will explore a different part of the property at John Jay Homestead and complete a take-home activity from the lessons learned that day.
After the class, the Red Barn Discovery Center will be open for imaginative play until 3 p.m.

Should the class need to be canceled due to low enrollment, those already registered will be notified 10 days prior to the first scheduled class.
