September Theme: Art. In Discovery Time this month we will explore the science of art combining creativity with scientific inquiry, encouraging children to experiment and observe how art materials interact. Through activities like mixing colors, experimenting with textures, and using different mediums, children learn basic scientific concepts such as cause and effect, chemical reactions, and the properties of light and matter.These programs allow children to express their creativity while also nurturing curiosity about the science behind their artistic creations, helping them understand the intersection of art, science, and experimentation.

It is said that young children experience the world and express themselves in a hundred languages. Discovery Time utilizes a broad array of these learning languages – including music, art, stories, and creative movement to connect children to science. Young children are developing increasingly complex theories about the world, rapidly gaining language, and learning to work with others. Discovery Time activities are designed by early childhood specialists specifically to nurture and challenge the rapid development of preschool-aged children in a fun, safe, and collaborative learning environment.
Discovery Time sparks the interest of science education in young children by teaching them how to explore a broad range of topics with a curious mindset. Each month will have a different focus, spanning topics such as chemistry, space, physics, anatomy, and more. Spend some quality time with your child and meet other caregivers in your community.
