Discovering Science offers enrichment classes which enable children to explore science in a creative and supportive environment. Our curriculum is scientifically sound, age-appropriate and challenging. While being a young scientist, children demonstrate for themselves how much fun it can be to use materials to test ideas, that’s how great minds grow! We design our program to meet the challenge of improving science skills of all our children. Classes are designed to:

• Foster a child’s natural curiosity and interest about their world and how it works.

• Give children the opportunity to test their own ideas through use of the scientific method.

• Increase a child’s enthusiasm for learning through exciting challenges and hands-on experiences.

Classes meet for 30 minutes each week, four times per month. Please look over this information and our curriculum calendar.

Ages:  3 and up
