Explore science and nature through age-appropriate games, crafts, stories, and other seasonal experiments and activities.
Choose the class below that is appropriate to your child's age/grade level. Days and times have been selected so that they don't conflict with normal school times and fit into your busy schedule. See our calendar for class dates. As always, you can call the office with questions or comments at (770) 394-3322.
NOTE: If you want or need a different class time than we are offering, we can help! Get together 7 or more students and we'll teach a class especially for your group. You name the weekday and time! Call the office for details.
