Youth Programs:

 

Computertots - Animals and Dinosaurs

Monday – Friday, June 24 – 28 from 1:15 – 2:00 pm at the Founders Community Center in this fun and educational class, children will learn about animals and dinosaurs using a combination of computer software and crafts.   Each day children will work in small interactive groups to explore exciting activities using a computer and two different software programs.  As they improve their computer skills, children will learn about animals and dinosaurs in a fun way that encourages reading and math readiness.  They’ll use their creativity and imagination during the last few minutes of each class to create animal puppets, special projects and creature books which they will take home.   This national program was developed by educators to engage inquisitive minds and has been featured on CNN and in Parents Magazine.
