Overview of Preschool Programs:
Science:

"I'M A NUT!!!" That's what your child will say after a day of Imagine That! where we don't just learn science we become it. Whether we are time travelers heading back into days of dinosaurs, blasting off into space with our antigravity pendants, or one of the famous O.X.Y.S. (Only eXcellent Youth Scientist) using physics and chemistry to fight Dr. Lipid and his M. O. R. O. N. S. (Magical Ogres Reshaping Our Natural Systems), we use our imaginations and hands-on science experiments to learn about the world around us.   For Session 1 we will be studying Hawaiian Treasure Hunt! 

We will take the children on many adventures as we travel the Hawaiian Isles.  In our interactive story the children will have to solve science riddles first with their brains and then with the hands-on experiments that will prove or disprove their theories.  This is the way we are meant to learn!

Our explorations this year will include:
Þ Treasure Maps	Þ Dissecting Owl Pellets	Þ Fluorescence
Þ Boats and buoyancy	Þ Water experiments	Þ Blasting off volcanos
Þ Insects and Spiders	Þ Rockets and Space	Þ Rainforest investigations
Þ Oil Spill clean up	Þ Fossil digs	Þ And LOTS more!

Art Adventures:

In our exciting Preschool Art Classes we will work with your young artist to help them develop the ability to create and express themselves through many different media. In addition to painting and drawing, we will use many different materials to help them refine their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. Your child will work with:

clay, natural egg dying, weaving, bubble painting, mask making, puppets, paper making, marbling and lots more.

We will use mime, storytelling, and puppet shows to add excitement to their projects. Your child will learn and have fun with our experienced and caring teachers who use praise, individualized attention and encouragement to help them create their masterpieces.

Technology

You  will not believe what your child will be creating with LEGO® Education’s Tech Machines! We will build working machines with moving parts using small-hand friendly tools such as screwdrivers and integrated screws. These machines have: reels, hooks, scoops and propellers!

The children will learn problem-solving, increase communication skills as they work in teams and develop fine motor skills...all while having a GREAT time!
