Little Science Lab is a FREE hands-on, interactive program for preschoolers and their families. The program encourages children’s curiosity about the natural world and develops early science and math skills to get them ready for school.
Ages 3-5
New this summer:
Join us for Family Fun events at locations throughout Snohomish County! These events are drop-in: come in any time during the event and stay for as long as you’d like. Hands-on activities are designed for children ages 3-5 accompanied by adults. Older and younger siblings are also welcome to participate in the fun!
