Ready, set, learn!

We're getting ready for a new school year at Discovery Place KIDS. Join us throughout August as we celebrate the last weeks of summer and prepare for a new school year.

Build literacy skills with our daily Story Time tales, including Countdown to Kindergarten by Alison McGhee, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, practice your alphabet as we identify letters through stories, games and other activities in Learning Letters. On Wednesdays and Fridays, join us for Shapes & Numbers as we use our counting skills to find circles, triangles and squares.

Be sure to join us Friday, August 19, for Countdown to Kindergarten, a community-wide program for rising kindergarteners and their families. Enjoy FREE Museum admission as community partners offer skill-building activities and information that children and parents will need in preparation for their first day of school.

Additional activities this month include:

August 13: Smart with Art - Did you know that meaningful art activities support brain development? Engage all the senses as we make art and develop skills in expression and creation.

August 21: 1, 2, 3, Follow Me! - Learn all about following directions through music and games. Our early learners will become active listeners as we participate in songs such as, "The Hokey Pokey," "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and "Simon Says."

August 27: Color Mixing - Why are the colors red, yellow and blue so special? Find out as we mix these colors together to create beautiful new colors.
