YOUNG DISCOVERERS

There's nothing quite like seeing a child's eyes light up when they learn something new. Light that spark early with our Young Discoverers program, a science-themed story and activity time for children aged 2 - 5 years and their guardians. Young Discoverers is held Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10:30am - 11am here at the Center and is free with admission (and free for members!).

WEDNESDAYS - FRIDAYS AT 10:30 AM

  • A story read by one of our educators for ages 2-5 and their parent/guardian
  • Activity time that will educate and entertain your child
  • The opportunity to learn and have fun together
