Crafting & Sensory Play

Hands on Sensory Play, ages 2 - 5
fall session: Mondays, 9/26 - 11/14, 11 am
no class October 10
no registration required

• Sensory play hour includes a variety of activities from sensory toys to hands on art activities which will help young children learn about the world and explore.

• As children manipulate objects and explore through their senses, they are developing key strategies to problem solving.

• When children use more of their senses while learning, they are better able to retain what they’ve learned.

STEM Workshops

ages vary

From coding to engineering challenges to science exploration, our STEM workshops use children's innate curiosity to engage participants in practicing 21st century skills in a non-competative environment. The emphasis is on fun and instilling confidence in participants

​

While most STEM Workshops are geared to children ages 6 and up, Sensory Activities introduce children ages 2 to 5 to basic science and encourage observational skills.

To enhance our in-house programming, we often invite professional performers or presenters to our Children's Room.

Your children might meet some rare and unusual animals, watch a live performance while dancing and signing along or learn to relax during a yoga class in these special events.
