I've had nothing but an extremely amazing experience having my daughter be a part of this program. As a parent, I've gone to pick up my child to disappointment that they haven't had time to finish the project they are working on or not wanting to leave because they are having so much fun is such a self explanatory statement to this program and a very safe feeling as a mom that my child isn't counting down the time for me to come take her home. I would highly recommend this for anyone on the fence 10/10 this is a wonderful place! The technology we have today can be incredible or sometimes detrimental to our kids, from what I have seen this program uses technology in a fun, learning, and informative way not just letting kids sit on tablets for their entertainment. My daughter goes 3 days a week and as soon as an opening is available for the 4th day I will run to sign her up for it because she loves it!

Peace (the owner) teaches the children so much it's hard to put it into words the impression she has on these kids.

If you want your child to have a unique and profound beginning to their learning , sapling Grove is the best place to be!

There's no one-size-fits-all learning model for every child at every developmental age or stage, which is why we offer individual children and families unparalleled branches of collaborative services designed to nurture and support the whole child and help them develop the critical emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and community skills central to a strong self-esteem. Through dance, music, yoga, art, reading, nature walks, treasure hunts, seasonal events, and more, we help individual children and family systems grow together and foster in them a lifelong love of learning. We love each child we work with, and we're honored to encourage them to reach their fullest potential each and every day.

Your admission ($17.95 per person) includes access to a mix of indoor and outdoor attractions: Discovery Center -- A large, interactive space with educational displays on topics like climate change, invasive species, the water crisis, and local ecosystems. There's also a touch tank where you can get up close with sea life. Live Animal Feedings & Volunteer Presentations -- Knowledgeable volunteers provide extra insights about the wildlife and conservation efforts. Trails & Outdoor Spaces -- A short walking trail winds through the property, perfect for a peaceful stroll. Von Arx Wildlife Hospital -- While the hospital itself isn't open to the public, you can learn about how they care for injured and rescued wildlife and see where some of the animals are treated. Little Explorers Zone -- A dedicated building for kids, making this an especially family-friendly destination. One of the best parts of the visit was the electric boat tour of the Gordon River, which is included with admission. The 40-minute ride is led by a volunteer captain who shares fascinating details about the surrounding wildlife, plants, and ecosystem. If you're planning to take the boat tour, reserve your spot as soon as you pay admission -- we only had to wait about 10 minutes, but it can book up quickly during busy times. After the tour, we explored a few more of the buildings and stopped by the gift shop. Honestly, the shop was the least impressive of the ones we visited -- it mainly had basic branded items and nothing particularly unique, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. The Conservancy of Southwest Florida is absolutely worth a stop, especially if you enjoy wildlife, conservation, and learning about Florida's ecosystems. Between the interactive exhibits, the river tour, and the chance to see firsthand how the organization protects local habitats, it's both educational and enjoyable.

We arrived just in time for their last boat ride of the day at 3 p.m. Their electric boat tours are a perfect way to explore the narrow channels of the Gordon River. We saw several birds, including a bald eagle and great blue, little blue, and green herons. Conservancy volunteers and employees, including our boat captain, were friendly and knowledgeable. Admission is $17.95 for adults and $9.95 for children, although we hold a family Conservancy membership so our admission (including boat ride) was free. We also enjoyed visiting the Conservancy's Dalton Discovery Center, which has various exhibits with native and invasive wildlife. We loved watching all the fish! This group also runs the von Arx Wildlife Hospital, which is an important wildlife rehabilitation center and hospital that takes in over 4,000 sick, injured, and orphaned animals every year. Very grateful to have the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in our area. I highly recommend obtaining a membership if you are local or simply visiting if you're on vacation.
