Pre-K Outreach Programs

Itsy Bitsy Bugs 

Youngsters meet live bugs and learn about bugs they may find outside their home or school through dramatic play and music. 

Flutterby

As a whole group, students reveal how butterflies and moths differ by dressing up a student or teacher and studying preserved butterflies and moths, then experience the butterfly life cycle in an active metamorphosis game.
