Little Learners
Little Learners
meet 9:30 A.M. – 11 A.M. on Wednesday mornings, September through May. This interactive educational program is designed for children aged 3-6. We will sharpen our science process skills as we experiment, read, explore, sing, and create! Learners will have time for structured weekly-themed activities as well as unstructured time to socialize with peers, practice problem-solving, and explore our KidsPlace exhibit.
Little Learners is designed for children and participating adults. At least one adult must stay with their Little Learner(s) at all times while in Whitaker Center.
Any questions or concerns can be directed to education@whitakercenter.org.
Please Note:
Science Center exploration is NOT included in the price of your workshop. The Little Learners program is limited to our KidsPlace exhibit.
