About Discovery Days

  • Ages 2–6 with an adult
  • $4 for each child ages 2+ per member, $4.50 for each child ages 2+ per non-member
  • Attend a session that fits your schedule—no registration needed

Discovery Days is an early childhood program that encourages children ages 2 to 6 and their caregivers to engage together in educational, hands-on art, music, and movement activities. When you attend Discovery Days with your child, you help them cultivate important school-readiness skills, such as language development, attention, concentration, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and play and social abilities.

Discovery Days Music & Movement

  • Tuesdays; Classroom C
  • September 13–December 6
  • 9–10 am, 10:30–11:30 am, 12:30–1:30 pm

During Tuesday, November 8, Discovery Days Music & Movement will be held in the Stewart Auditorium instead of classroom C! Classroom C is a designated Voting & Polling location, and since it is in use for that, you can enjoy the beautiful Stewart Auditorium instead on this coming Tuesday!

Children and their parents and caregivers can enjoy moving to music together! Ms. Emma or Ms. Cora from Integral Steps plays music, plays instruments like the flute, leads dancing and wiggling, and leads sing-a-longs!

Discovery Days Art with Ms. Leigh

  • Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays; Classroom AB
  • September 7–December 9
  • 9–10:15 am, 10:30–11:45 am, 12:30–1:45 pm

Discovery Days Art is back in the big classroom AB that we enjoyed most of last spring! This classroom is halfway down the education hall; you'll see the sign!
