Little Scientists Program
In an effort to include even the littlest of learners, our Little Scientists program is for children aged 2-4 who are not yet ready to take part in the Homeschool classes but still have a desire to discover and explore. The program meets during regular Homeschool Programming days. Each sessions features hands-on activities for early science exploration that will make up an exciting parent/child class program.
