Early Discovery Program (ages 3-4)

Kids of all ages can discover and play Your child in the Early Discovery Program will spend a fun filled week learning about their natural surroundings using their five senses. Touching slimy worms, smelling fragrant wildflowers, tasting yummy fruits, hearing croaking frogs and observing camouflaged insects will be some of the great fun that your Early Discoverer will have. We will be exploring rocks, worms, insects and seeds. Your senses are the only way you can experience the bright magical world we live in. Through our senses, we will learn about nature and all that it has to offer us.

The Early Discovery program runs from 8 am to 12 pm Tuesday through Saturday. Parents wishing to attend full day classes can sign their child into afternoon child care Participants should check in at registration on opening day.
