Discovery Club School Age Child Care
Where families learn & grow together.
1/2 Day Nature-based Pre-K
Grades K-5. Bundle up and explore the natural world right outside your school door. Take snowy walks, record your chilly discoveries, and make a “winter wonder box.” Learn how creatures (and people!) adapt to the cold and become a better caretaker of our amazing planet through curiosity and appreciation, even when it’s below zero!
Sliding Fees: Our model for program pricing ensures that our high-quality enrichment classes are more accessible to our community members. We encourage participants to choose the price that they are able to pay. This structure helps our programs be financially sustainable and more equitable.
