Our Classes

At Stardust Sanctuary learning comes to life through hands-on, heart-centered experiences with animals, nature, and creative expression. Our unique class offerings are designed to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and nurture empathy in children of all ages. Whether students are caring for animals, exploring science in the barn, or expressing themselves through art, every class is rooted in experiential learning and the magic of the sanctuary.

Grownup &  Me Classes

Tiny Trailblazers

Slow down and soak up the magic of the moment with your little one in this gentle, joyful class designed for young children and their grownups. Each week, we’ll meet a friendly animal from the sanctuary, explore the natural world through sensory play and simple crafts, and enjoy songs, stories, and sweet connections. Perfect for ages 18 months to 4 years, this class is all about bonding, wonder, and discovering the beauty of the barnyard—together.

Just celebrated my daughter’s birthday at the Stardust Sanctuary right here in our little town. They were INCREDIBLE and we had such a good time! The ladies there clearly love the animals they have rescued and care for. We can’t wait to go back.
