Hands-on exploration

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!

• OCTOBER is all about the letter O: We’re exploring glass to learn all about opalescence. Expect bright colors, turtles and cacti!
• Another Learning Lab activity includes cave-spelunking coding sessions where you will play a game of search and rescue while learning interesting historical facts about Tennessee’s abundance of caves.
