Months & Descriptions
August 2018: Healthy Living
Join us on Wednesdays this summer to discover a new part of a healthy lifestyle. Themes may include healthy snacking, exercise, My Plate, sports, outdoor activities and more! Each week will be new and exciting while keeping the kids connected all summer long.
September - December 2018: STEM Careers
This fall the little learners will explore different STEM careers and the application of STEM theories. Topics may include biology, chemistry, environmentalism, architecture, computer science and more! Each week is its own independent topic; but attending for consecutive weeks will allow the children to build on STEM topics and create a cohesive understanding of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
