Wee Explorers
Wee Explorers is a story, music, movement, and outside activity program for students too young to attend classes or not enrolled in a class at Ruth Washburn. Two- to three-year-olds will enjoy a 60-minute playtime with their adult(s) in our Wee Explorers program on Tuesday or Wednesday mornings.
A typical session consists of music, 1 or 2 stories, sensory experiences, dancing, and outside time where families can enjoy our expansive backyard. Sessions run once per week during the school year for 30 weeks.
Enrollment and participation in our Wee Explorers program adds points onto your entry on our waitlist.
Activities
Music
Children learn to appreciate music as a form of creative expression by experiencing the joy of listening to music, making music, and moving to music.
Stories
Storytime introduces children to literature, rhyming, vocabulary, concepts, writing styles, and knowledge.
Sensory Experiences
Sensory experimentation encourages learning through exploration and curiosity.
Process Art
With artmaking, the process is valued more highly than making a product. Children learn to express themselves and experiment with materials.
Dancing
Children tap into their creativity and have fun while developing their muscles, coordination, and agility.
Outdoor Play
Our outdoor space offers lots of places to roam and explore for our littlest friends. Families have time to visit with each other while the children play.
If you are interested in future enrollment in any of our programs, please join the waitlist!
