Program

Amazing Animals

Through stories, crafts, discussions, media presentations, field trips, and play, Li'l Bears will learn about creatures large and small—from lions, porcupines, and giraffes to armadillos, rabbits, and minks. Our youngest CAUers will enjoy a safe and happy environment all day long under the caring supervision of experienced counselors. (Note: Potty training is a must for every Li'l Bear.)
