Growing Me is a one-hour program for ages 4-5 where we focus on Pre-K and Kindergarten readiness skills. In this class children will grow their confidence by practicing skills independently while still receiving parental supervision. In Growing Me we focus on social and emotional development, language and communication, early literacy, and mathematical thinking. We play with puzzles, write, draw, color, count, learn, play, and grow!

Join us at Explore & More for FOLK ART FRIDAYS!! Beginning, Friday, July 9th, and every Friday throughout 2021 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM, we will conduct activities that will immerse children and families in different forms of folk art, from dance and movement to songs and storytelling, to costuming and crafts. Don’t miss out on the fun! Participation is FREE with paid admission. Better yet, become a member of the museum and join us every week! There are many different ways to think about folk art. In fact, there is no one definition of folk art. In collecting and displaying folk art, Explore & More considers various concepts and we are so excited to share our new program with you!
