Afternoon Explorers Program**
This is a program being offered at Happy Heart ELC that is specifically designed to supplement the learning experiences of children who attend a morning preschool program and who would benefit from additional instruction and academic experiences in a more casually-structured learning environment in the afternoon.
Afternoon Explorers classes will present fun and interesting science and social studies topics that will incorporate and reinforce, where applicable, the language arts skills and math concepts presented in morning programs. Explorers will learn interesting facts and relevant information about the topics being “explored”, while creating artwork and projects that will expand or enhance their understanding of the topic.
Afternoon Explorers is an excellent choice of enrichment activities for parents who seek educationally-based afternoon activities for their preschool-aged children.
