Mini Makers
STEM class recommended for ages 3-6. Mondays @ 3:30 pm & Fridays @ 10:30 am (NEW)!
Class Description
Our Mini Makers class, recommended for ages 3-6, takes STEM exploration a step further! After a circle time with songs and a read aloud, kids jump into STEM learning with hands-on activities and wrap up with a maker activity to take home! This class includes 45 minutes of guided instruction and 45 minutes of open play. Caregivers must stay in the building but do not need to attend the class portion unless desired. Mini Makers begins with 15 minutes of caregiver-supervised open play, then we move into our classroom for the guided activity, and we conclude with 30 minutes of caregiver-supervised open play.
