Preschool Programs

Little Learners

Explore the scientific wonders of the world with your child! Our parent-and-child classes focus on a scientific theme with exciting hands-on activities and crafts. Each fee covers one Pre-K child (aged 3 to 4)* and one parent or “big buddy” (18 years and older). Additional adults or children must register separately at the full fee.

*Campers must be age 3 by the start of class.


NEWMe, Myself & I

Look at yourself from the inside out. Take an adventure through your body and learn all about the parts that make you YOU! Become the subject as you investigate everything from your five senses to the sound of your own heart. You’ll get to visit Tess, our 50-foot body simulator and her cartoon pal Walt!

Planet Patrol

We’re not talking about a police force for the stars here! Instead, set your eyes to the skies and get to know the mysterious goings-on in outer space. You’ll explore the worlds of our solar system and prepare a small rocket, which is sure to make any astronaut proud.
