EBNS's nature-based programs are led with the utmost care to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Our major points of prevention include classes being held primarily outdoors, and teachers, children and all classroom volunteers wearing masks. If the need for a switch to remote learning arises (due to extreme weather, a government mandate, staffing shortages or other), EBNS teachers will provide instruction via online platforms and the program will continue virtually until in-person gatherings are able and/or allowed to resume. Tuition will not be reimbursed.
