Get ready to create, explore, and have fun!
Join us each month for our Kids Craft & STEM Days, designed especially for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. Participants will enjoy hands-on craft activities that spark creativity, plus one exciting STEM program each month where kids can experiment, build, and discover through science, technology, engineering, and math.
Discovery Time with Miss Christine is a fun and engaging story time for the whole family! Each week, we build early literacy skills through the five essential practices: sing, talk, read, write, and play. These simple, everyday activities support language development, spark creativity, and boost comprehension, while also laying a strong foundation for future STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).
Through joyful music, movement, and poetry, children explore stories from long ago to today. With storytelling and engaging performances, families are introduced to inspiring people and ideas that help us understand our world.
This lively, interactive celebration invites children of all backgrounds to sing, move, listen, and learn together as we celebrate Black History.
