Session Description:
We know about the importance of building a strong mathematical foundation in the early years. The key to instilling a love of learning in preschoolers is by disguising it with plenty of fun and joyful activities. We know that little ones love to play, so why not leverage that playtime for learning? Join us as we jump out of the box and into a world of fun activities that will develop mathematical skills.
