We’ll explore the magic of winter through seasonal songs, art, hands-on projects, harvesting, cooking, exploration, and play. We’ll discover how plants rest through the colder months, search for signs of wildlife, and notice how the Farm changes with the season.

More than preschool. A place where curiosity becomes learning. The Snapology Early Learning Lab is a small-group, instructor-led educational enrichment program where children learn through building, exploration, creativity, and play. We use LEGO® bricks and other hands-on materials as tools to teach engineering, science, technology, math, literacy, creativity, and critical thinking—not simply how to build with LEGO. Each class introduces real STEM concepts through exciting themes like dinosaurs, animal science, space, engineering, simple machines, nature, weather, and introductory robotics. Through stories, games, experiments, building challenges, and creative projects, children develop school-readiness skills while learning to ask questions, solve problems, collaborate, and discover why things work. Unlike many larger preschool settings, our Early Learning Lab features small class sizes, allowing instructors to personalize activities, support each child's development, and provide additional challenges as they grow. Whether your child is new to STEM or already loves to build, they'll be encouraged to think, create, and explore in a fun, engaging environment. While designed for potty-trained children ages 3–6, Children up to age 8 with developmental or learning differences may also be a good fit. Participants must be able to engage safely in a small-group setting without one-on-one support. Please contact us before registering so we can discuss your child’s needs and ensure the program is an appropriate fit.
