According to Dr. Brian Stone, “Children are born scientists and experts at play. These two are not mutually exclusive.” Little ones will have fun learning and exploring science concepts as they play with familiar toys including blocks, cars, balls, animals, and more.

From 9:30–11:30 AM, our preschool classroom will be open for small scientists ages 18 months to 5 years and their caregivers. Families are welcome to drop in, explore, and play at their own pace as space allows—stay for a little while or linger longer!

Inside the Learning Lab, you’ll discover:

  • Hands-on experiments and playful STEM activities
  • Opportunities to build motor, language, and thinking skills through doing
  • Open-ended materials that invite tinkering, testing, and trying again
  • Simple take-home ideas to help grown-ups keep the learning going

This flexible, joyful format lets children follow their interests, revisit favorite activities, and experience science as a playful adventure—together with you.

Come wonder, explore, and discover with us all summer long!
