Let’s Try it Out…. In the Water

Ever wonder how big the ocean is? Or how about how tall a skyscraper is… Our little explorers will dive into an aquarium filled with water to find out how much water it will hold. They will then explore homemade skyscrapers and building to see how tall they are all while playing with measurement.

The Mobile Learning Adventure (MLA) is a traveling exhibit that provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers learn about the importance of early childhood education while they engage in fun activities with their children. A part of PNC Grow Up Great – A $350 million, multi year initiative that began in 2004  to help children from birth to age 5 for success in school and life. The MLA includes interactive kiosks and the “What I Want To Be When I Grow Up” station , where kids dress up as different processionals and have their picture superimposed  on an appropriate background. In addition, parents can take home activity books and learning kids that demonstrate how to take everyday moments and turn them into learning opportunities.
