Today's Little Scientists Storytime explored the fascinating world of gestures! 👋🔬

Our young scientists discovered how we can communicate without words through movements, expressions, and signs. We read Flora and the Flamingo, a beautiful wordless story that showed how gestures can tell an entire story, and we learned a little about sign language and the many ways people communicate.

From waving and pointing to signing and dancing, our scientists learned that actions can speak just as loudly as words! Thank you to everyone who joined us for a morning of stories, learning, and fun.

Take a look at some photos from today's adventure! 📸✨

A little sneak peek into this morning's Little Scientists Storytime! 🔬✨

Our young scientists started the day with our opening song, getting their bodies moving, their voices singing, and their minds ready to explore. We love beginning each session with music and movement as we prepare for a morning of discovery, learning, and fun!

Enjoy this short clip from today's program! 🎶❤️

Our Paint Your Pet artists made incredible progress during Session 3! 🎨🐾

This week, participants continued bringing their pet portraits to life with color, texture, and personality. After transferring their drawings to canvas during our first session, artists have been building layers, adding fur texture, and learning techniques to create depth and dimension as their portraits take shape.

It’s amazing to see how each piece is developing and how every artist is capturing the unique character of their beloved pet. From expressive eyes to fluffy fur, these paintings are really starting to shine!

Take a look at some photos from today’s class. We’re also extending our workshop by one more week so participants can continue adding details to their portraits and finish their one-of-a-kind pet masterpieces.

Stomp, roar, and wiggle! 🦖🎶

Today's Music and Movement theme was dinosaurs, and our little shakers had a dino-mite time! Each child wore a dinosaur tail throughout the session as we danced, moved, and explored music together.

Take a look at these photos from this morning's prehistoric adventure. We loved seeing everyone's imaginations come to life as they transformed into little dinosaurs for the day!

Our little shakers were on the move this morning at Music and Movement! 🎶✨

Children danced with colorful scarves to Brand New Day, exploring rhythm, movement, and creative expression while having lots of fun with friends.

Take a look at this short video clip from today's program! 💃🕺
