Enriching Children's Minds Through Science

Summer and Vacation Programs
 


   


Science Express
offers a 1-hour science class for school-aged children that are enrolled in a childcare program. We provide all the materials and a trained instructor for this supply-intensive FUN science experience.

Our programs work well for vacation and summer programming. Choose from any of our classes to coordinate with your themes. Multiple sessions are available on the same day to accommodate large groups. (Maximum of 25 students per session)

These programs are designed for students entering grades 1-5. Some of the programs can be adapted for younger students too. You may also want to visit our Preschool Programs page to see our Preschool Science programs, which are offered year-round.
