What's Happening at
The Discovery Center
Moving into July, our boys and girls are enjoying some summertime fun! They are having a fantastic time learning and having fun with various summertime activities, both indoors and outdoors. They are engaging in exciting science experiments, creative arts and crafts, and lots of interactive story read-alouds inside. Outside, they are exploring with nature, participating in games, and enjoying water play. It's a summer full of enriching experiences and joyful discoveries!
Check out your child's specific activities for the month posted outside their classroom door, as well as shared via Brightwheel messaging.
