Is your child constantly asking you “why?” and curious about how things work? Then Little Explorers is made for them! We start with a great story, add movement and exploration with our senses to help kids better understand the world around them. Let’s build pathways to knowledge!
This exploration-based program is for children from birth to pre-k and their families. We will use books to nurture curiosity, create, and discover the world around us. Each week we will use a variety of materials that you may have at home for our exploration activity.
Here is the list of this month’s books and supplies. Need assistance? Contact us at 904-255-BOOK.
