Parent/Child Program

Our Parent/Child program features nurturing and community-building facilitated weekly sessions for families with babies and young children. The program is geared at ages 0-6, but all ages are welcome. We have group locations in Davis, Sacramento, Folsom, Lincoln, and West Roseville!

Registration for all Parent/Child classes is per family. You will only need to register one child, even if you plan to bring more. Additional supply fee applies if bringing 3 or more children!

Spring season is underway!

If you are interested in joining mid-season, please reach out to inquire.

Summer 2026

In addition to our many options for week-long Summer Day Camps, and our annual late-summer Family Camp, we continue our weekly Parent/Child progams throughout the summer. This summer we will be running for 8 weeks in 6 locations, from the week of June 22nd through the week of August 10th. Please note there will be not group running at the Lincoln location over the summer, due to lack of water/shade.

Registration is per family. Please register only one child, even if you plan to bring more. Additional supply fees may apply if bringing three or more children.

A Note on Parking:

For Sacramento sessions, you will need to have a yearly Sacramento Regional Parks pass, which you can purchase for $70, or pay a $7 daily fee to park. You can visit the Sacramento County Regional Parks website to find out more and to purchase a pass. They also have reduced rate options for low-income families. 

The Folsom Lake group meets at Folsom Lake, which is a California State Park. If you do not already have an annual parks pass, you can purchase one through CA State Parks (including discounted and free options), or you can check one out through your local library. 

Reparations & Tuition Assistance

We have a few opportunities to offer tuition assistance for families with financial need (please contact us in advance to apply and receive the coupon code!).

We offer a discounted reparations rate of 40% off standard tuition to families identifying as Black and/or Indigenous to North America, regardless of financial need. You will find the reparations code in the session description on the registration site.

Please note that tuition assistance cannot be combined with the use of homeschool charter funds (but the reparations rate can).

Homeschool Charter Funds

If you are with a homeschool charter, you should be able to use their funds for all of our programs except Dragonfly Teen Naturalists*.

We are currently vendors with the following charters:

  • Clarksville
  • Compass 
  • Cottonwood
  • Feather River
  • Harvest Ridge
  • Heritage Peak
  • Horizon
  • South Sutter
  • Sutter Peak
  • Visions in Education

If you are with a different charter school and would like to request that we become vendors with them, please get in touch!

In order to use charter funds, we require a $25 deposit when registering, which gets subtracted from the amount you request from your school. This deposit is retained as the cancelation fee should you cancel.

Each class has a coupon code that you can use to check out in the registration system without paying tuition beyond the $25 deposit. If you use this code, we will expect to receive a purchase order or service voucher within 2 weeks of your registration, and before the start of the program. (Fall Season is the only exception, as most charters are not yet open for funding requests at the time registration opens. In this case we expect to receive your purchase order or service voucher before the start of the program.)

The coupon codes for using charter funds are listed in the registration system under "view more details" for each class option. Sometimes they change from season to season so please always check there!

Using charter funds for Little Coyotes Forest Kinder is a more complicated matter, so please get in touch with us if you want to do this!

Once you have registered with the coupon code and paid the $25 deposit, just subtract $25 from the total tuition and request that from your charter school. If you are receiving a reparations-based rate, make sure to factor that in as well.

*For DTN, some charters will pay for it, though most won't, due to it being held on Saturdays and involving an overnight component. Please verify with your charter before registering, if your registration depends on it being funded by your school. 

Cancelations & Refunds

Refund Policy for Seasonal Programs

If you cancel your registration within 4 weeks of the start of the season, you will be refunded in full, minus a $25 cancelation fee. If you cancel less than 4 but more than 2 weeks before the start of the season, you will be refunded 50% of the tuition, minus the $25 cancelation fee. There will be no refunds for cancelations starting 2 weeks before the first day of the season.

For example: The Spring season begins on 3/30 in Davis. In order to receive a full refund your last day to cancel is Sunday, March 1st. If you cancel between Monday, March 2nd and Sunday, March 15th, you will receive a refund of 50% of the total tuition minus the $25 cancelation fee. If you cancel on or after Monday, March 16th, we will not be able to offer a refund.

Refund Policy for Summer Camp Weeks

For weekly summer camps, the same principle applies, but to your scheduled week, rather than to the start of the Summer Season: cancelations 4 or more weeks in advance of your scheduled week will result in a full refund, minus the $25 cancelation fee; 2-4 weeks in advance of your scheduled week will result in a 50% refund, minus the $25 cancelation fee; and less than 2 weeks will not be refundable.

For example: If your child is registered in Week 2 camp, beginning on Monday, June 22nd, the last day to cancel and receive a full refund will be Sunday, May 24th; you will be able to receive a 50% refund between Monday, May 25th and Sunday, June 7th. There will be no refunds after that point.
