About Discovery Days
Discovery Days is an early childhood program that encourages children ages two to six 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.
- Ages 2–6 with an adult
- $4 for each child member, $4.50 for each child non-member
- Attend a session that fits your schedule—no registration needed
Discovery Days: Music and movement
- Tuesdays; Classroom C
- Sept. 13 to Dec. 6
- 9 to 10:15 a.m., 10:30 to 11:45 a.m., 12:30 to 1:45 p.m.
Children and their parents and caregivers can enjoy moving to music together! Ms. Emma 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
- Sept. 7 to Dec. 9
- 9 to 10:15 a.m., 10:30 to 11:45 a.m., 12:30 to 1:45 p.m.
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.
SVVSD has no school on Friday, Oct. 14, so that is a Big Kids Day at Discovery Days. Bring your elementary-school-aged kids to Big Kids Day to enjoy crafting together.
