Wee Discover every Wednesday at 10:30 am for Preschoolers based on the concepts of "Mother Goose Science" for young children. Wee Discover helps children discover the world around them by linking reading with hands-on-learning play experiences about the theme. Children exercise body motion, hand-eye coordination and grasp the many ways things in the world around us really work by experiencing them. Parents enjoy sharing this experience with their children and meeting other parents. Wee Discover is taught by experienced pre-school teacher Karen Brininstool, who has taught at CKM for many years.
