Preschool

The Catbus is now boarding! The October First Friday at the Saint Louis Science Center will feature all things Studio Ghibli! Catch a screening of the beloved Studio Ghibli films Kiki's Delivery Service or My Neighbor Totoro in the OMNIMAX Theater. Explore the themes and science often used by Hayao Miyazaki from flight to environmental sustainability. Test your trivia knowledge, engage in educational activities, play the building-wide game - there will be so much to do!

Families will work together with a GPS unit to find trick or treat locations around the Babler Outdoor Education Center. There will be candy and prizes at each location. Registration is required.

Indulge in nature and experience a day outdoors with your little one as you engage in activities that will help you build your "outdoor toolbox," including a short hike/storybook walk, and more on the beautiful grounds of Babler State Park. 

New this season, Teaching in Room 9 takes learning beyond the classroom as viewers discover our region's resources. Children will explore the coloring wall at the Missouri History Museum, learn about dinosaurs at the Saint Louis Science Center, and experience African art and mummies at the Saint Louis Art Museum, just to name a few. 

Ruh-roh! Scooby-Doo and the gang invite families to solve a gem of a mystery at the SCOOBY-DOO! Mansion Mayhem exhibit at The Magic House. This immersive experience allows families to analyze clues and put their problem-solving skills to the test.

This playtime session is designed to ignite the joy of unstructured play, allowing kids to immerse themselves in the tactile and imaginative realm of their slimy creations. Each participant will take home their custom-crafted construction slime.

Catch the Pixar animated classic A Bug's Life at this outdoor movie night for the whole family. In addition to the movie, families can enjoy hours of fun with steel drummers, crafts, glow necklaces and food trucks prior to the movie.
