Openings for Hudson Highland Nature Museum's 2007-8 Pre-K Program
Head Teacher, Sandy Dixon, has announced that the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum now has openings in this year's 4- year-old afternoon pre-k program only. This unique and popular program emphasizes science-based activities, outdoor experiences, social skills and preparation for kindergarten using the resources of the Museum including its collection of live animals and its 177 acres of fields, ponds and woodlands. It is in its tenth year of operation.
"It is amazing how much these youngsters can learn about nature and science," says Head Teacher Mrs. Dixon. "We hike to the forest, plant seeds, create things from recyclables, draw from nature, observe insects, experiment, identify birds, search for tadpoles and generally have a great time."
The Young Naturalist Program runs from September to June. Children who are four by Dec. 1, 2007 meet three days a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:15pm until 3pm. The program is held at the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum's Outdoor Discovery Education Center at 20 Kenridge Farm Road, Route 9W in Cornwall. For further information, call the Museum at 845- 534-5506 ext. 204 or visit www.hhnaturemuseum.org.
