Discovery Center Is Mobile!

Preschool Programs

We are now offering eight new outreach programs designed specifically for preschool-aged children. Each topic is approximately 45 minutes in length, and has been designed with the needs of early learners in mind! Let us bring hands-on experiments to your classroom to help you enrich the science learning experiences of your preschool aged children. We’ll do all the work—you get to watch your young learners as they interact with our materials and explore a variety of science concepts.

For the presentation of a single one-hour program, for a maximum of 30 students, the fee is $100. The same program can be repeated for an additional $65 each, with a maximum of 3 consecutive programs at one location during the same morning or afternoon reservation.


Programs:



Storybook Science: Bats combines hands-on activities with the book Stellaluna by Janell Cannon to explore the unique characteristics of bats.



Storybook Science: Dinosaurs invites you to join in a Dinosaurumpus! We will investigate the dinosaurs found in this favorite children’s book by Tony Mitton.



Story book science: Insects uses The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to explore the world of our six legged friends.
