Pre-K Learning Labs
Our preschool programs are designed to fit the learning style of preschool-aged children. Classes are taught in an inquiry-based, hands-on atmosphere. Our objective is to bring out your preschoolers’ natural curiosity and increase their understanding of the world around them.
Our programs are typically 45 minutes in length. Most preschool programs include a take-home project. Each preschool group will receive an age-appropriate planetarium show included with the purchase of an on-site Learning Lab program.
