This preschool enrichment drop-off series invites your little one to investigate the world! Each week they will enjoy developmentally appropriate literacy, sensory play, art and STEM activities!  Children will share ideas in a group, explore and gather information through hands-on play, draw and create art, experiment and write about their findings.  We will then come together as a group to reflect upon all they learned and enjoy fun in the Explorer Zone before going home!
