Hands-on exploration

Using our senses to explore scientific processes during playful learning.

Learning Lab

This program can include any activity that stimulates a child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate, and explore which can lead to longer attention spans and focus in addition to improving their coordination and motor skills.

Head to the Learning Lab on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. and explore these hands-on experiments waiting for you!

  • JUNE: We’ll be building structures, castles and towers with kinetic sand as we celebrate the letter K throughout June.
  • JULY: Thinking of summer sun and UV rays, we’re making UV resin leaf designs as we focus on the letter L during the month of July.
