Early Childhood Enrichment
Through songs, stories, art, cooking, science, and exploration, your child will be immersed in the life of the amazing animals, plants, and habitats of Double J Farm!
Double J offers a variety of Early Childhood Enrichment Classes for children ages 1-6 years old. Our Early Childhood Enrichment classes focus on teaching children skills that nurture a reverence for life, care-taking of both animals and the environment, sensory learning, and so much more! Our classes take place both indoors and outdoors and provide a unique environment to learn about animals, plants and ecology through interacting with them rather than just reading about them. We emphasize fostering a child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth using our farm and small animals, gardens and nature.
Programs run Year Round and are open to children from 12 months through Kindergarten.
Children in these programs will learn how to:
-
Properly interact with different animals
-
Provide nutrition for each animal
-
Hold and groom each animal
-
Keep different habitats clean
-
Use recyclable materials
-
Understand the life cycle of the animals
And Much More!

A- We have a 72-hour cancellation policy. If you contact us by phone and/or email 72 hours prior to the class start, we can re-schedule your child's class. Refunds can be given 14 days prior to the class session. Payment and rescheduling cannot be credited towards other camps, classes, or lessons.
Q.- Can I register for multiple classes and will the activities always be the same?
A- You can register for as many classes as your schedule allows! Each week has it's own theme, so activities will be different week to week. The Junior Farmers also has a Tuesday and Thursday lesson plan, so children could come twice a week for that class and complete different activities!
Q.- Do you take drop-ins?
A- We do not take drop-ins, you must pre-register online.
Q- What can I do if a class session is booked at capacity?
A- You can sign up for the wait list, and if there are any cancellations, we will contact you to add your child to the roster.
Q- Does my child need to be potty trained?
A- For Junior Farmer's admittance, yes all children must be potty trained.
Q- What should my child wear?
A- Your child should wear comfortable clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a little dirty. They will be walking around a farm and around large animals, so protective boots are strongly encouraged even if they are not riding.
**Winter- Especially for their riding lesson make sure your child is sent with: warm gloves and socks, boots, and an extra layer of pants they can put on before riding.
