FREE HANDS-ON FUN DURING THE WEEK BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 21!!

Wee discover every Wednesday at 10:30 AM for Preschoolers. Based on the concepts of "Mother Goose Science" for young children. Wee Discover helps children discover the world around them by linking reading {a story a week} with hands on learning play experiences about theme. Children exercise body motion, hand-eye coordination and grasp the many ways things in the world around us really work by experiencing them. Parents enjoy sharing this experience with their children and meeting other parents. Wee Discover is taught by experienced pre-school teacher Karen Brininstool, who has taught at CKM for many years.

NEW Thursday’s Theatrical Storytelling at 10:30 AM. This fun new Pre-school workshop will last approximately 10-15 minutes. Your children will squeal with delight as participants are asked to be ready to perform short sketches for parents and friends. Complete with costumes, the children will explore their imaginations, learn how to communicate ideas, and discover self-confidence, motor skills, rhythm and creative movements as they express themselves.

 Friday Animals Alive Day 1:00 PM Children and adults are fascinated with animals and are often highly motivated to explore and learn as much as they can about them. Friday Animal Days will focus on one particular interesting animal a week. Presentations and Discussions will allow the children the opportunity to observe the animals close up.
