Our November calendar was brimming with engaging programs and workshops designed to foster creativity, enhance physical development, and nurture cognitive skills in our young learners.
1. Art Explorations
In collaboration with local artists, we organized an Art Explorations workshop series aimed at inspiring our children's imagination, encouraging self-expression, and developing their artistic abilities. Through a variety of mediums such as painting, sculpting, and collage, our little artists discovered new techniques and created unique masterpieces that adorned the walls of our center.
2. Science Adventures
With a strong focus on inquiry-based learning and hands-on experiments, our Science Adventures program sparked curiosity and a love for science among our preschoolers. They enjoyed thrilling experiments, such as creating volcanoes, erupting baking soda and vinegar reactions, and exploring the wonders of magnetism. Science truly came alive at Kidd's Preschool Enrichment Center!
