"This year I found a wonderful class for my preschooler called Tiny Treks. Over the years I've signed up for all the different classes for my son, from swimming, music, co-op preschool, gym class, etc. This is by far the best class I've ever enrolled my son in! If you live in Northern California, Chicago, or Seattle you are in luck!"   more

"We've loved all our outings with Tiny Treks!  Many of these places we never knew existed right here in our backyard. But even if we had, going there on our own wouldn't have been as meaningful an experience, without a teacher there to identify the local flora and animals. Tiny Treks is the PERFECT bonding experience for parents with preschool aged children, parents who were themselves raised in a typical urban/suburban setting, disconnected from nature. I learn as much as my child does! I truly believe an appreciation of nature, as this program engenders, is part of the antidote to today's obesity epidemic sweeping the pre-teen set."

"Tiny Treks is the highlight of my son Riley's week, and that is largely due to the effort, enthusiasm and energy that Ellen is putting into her classes. She is just fantastic, and really seems to enjoy her work. She is doing an amazing job, week in and week out. Thanks for devising a great program and finding great staff. We're considering re-enrolling for next year."

"The teacher has a very gentle way with the children, and always takes the time to listen to what they are saying to her. The kids really enjoy the music, as well as the craft projects. Being outdoors is great. I also appreciate the teacher's availability to talk with parents on topics such as preschool approaches."

"This program was a gift for my child and me. We discovered so many new places to go and fun things to do in the Bay Area. I tell everyone about Tiny Treks."

"Tiny Treks has been fabulous for my two daughters, and me!  We are in our second year, and still loving it. One of my favorite days with Tiny Treks took place at Foothills Park in Palo Alto. We did a nice little hike around the lake, made fishing poles with sticks, string and rubber worms, and fished at the water's edge. There was also a great little island we hiked out to. We ended the day by running around on the grass in an open space by the lake with incredible views down the valley. Gorgeous scenery and a very memorable outdoor experience with my daughters. I'll be sad when we "graduate."
