Looking for a joyful and meaningful way to give back? Join us as a Playtime at the Playa docent and help young children and their caregivers discover the wonders of nature through open-ended play and exploration! Playtime at the Playa is part of our early childhood programming at The Preserve. These sessions are unstructured but thoughtfully guided, offering hands-on nature activities and outdoor exploration designed to spark curiosity, confidence, and connection.
As a docent, you’ll help set up activity stations, engage with families, and support a welcoming and safe space for discovery. Each session loosely aligns with our WILD at The Preserve curriculum, creating consistency across both experiences. Caregivers attend with children, and you’ll be part of a team that makes learning in nature accessible and joyful. No experience required—just bring your enthusiasm, kindness, and love for the outdoors!
