Early childhood education is a vital part of the overall Meijer Gardens education lineup. We recognize the significance of a variety of stimulating experiences for a child’s brain growth and development. Equally important, these programs are fun for children and parents alike.
The Lena Meijer Children’s Garden presents imaginative, child-friendly activities to help families navigate 10 areas of the Children’s Garden. Cards provide suggestions for three difficulty levels.
Interested in any of these programs? Please contact us at hello@meijergardens.org or call 616-957-1580.
