Thursdays in August

It is said that young children experience the world and express themselves in a “hundred languages.” Discovery Time utilizes a broad array of these learning languages – including music, art, stories, and creative movement – to connect children to science. Children ages 3 to 6 are developing increasingly complex theories about the world, rapidly gaining language, and learning to work with others. Discovery Time activities are designed by early childhood specialists specifically to nurture and challenge the rapid development of preschool-aged children in a fun, safe, and collaborative learning environment. Discovery Time sparks the interest of science education in young children by teaching them how to explore a broad range of topics with a curious mindset. Each March will have a different focus, ranging from oceans, to space, to physics, to human health and anatomy. You never know what you may learn at Discovery Time!

Children ages 3 to 6 are developing quickly and gaining and mastering skills in a wide variety of domains including language, motor, symbolic representation, and concrete operational thinking. Discovery Time is structured around exploring the scientific method: observing, hypothesizing, testing, and discussing the results! Discovery Time provides open-ended activities that are accessible and engaging for children across a spectrum of development, and helps generally prepare them for the more structured learning environments they will encounter in elementary school.

This month in Discovery Time, we are investigating the hidden world inside our bodies. We will learn all about bones, internal organs, muscles, and senses. Studies have shown that teaching body awareness from a young age encourages healthy development. Body awareness encourages self-awareness, which helps toddlers learn and grow healthy habits. Discovery time empowers children to be the leader of their own educational adventure through cooperative play, art, and experiments. This program is recommended for children aged 3-6, caregivers, and siblings.

Hands-on activities include:

  • Working together to assemble a skeleton
  • Singing songs about body parts and their functions
  • Taking a walk around the museum to engage all of our senses
