Mother, Mom, Mama, Grandmother, Gigi, Godmother, Stepmother!

This month, in preparation of Mother’s Day, we are learning about the connection between Culpeper and the creation of Mother’s Day, roles of mothers, who might fill that role in our lives, and their influence. Participants will name different baby animals and their mothers as well as make a present to give to a mother in their life.

Presidents!

In honor of Presidents’ Day, children will learn about different Presidents from the past, some with connections to Culpeper. They will assemble various presidential outfits and make a George Washington puppet to take home.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat…!

Join us for the inaugural program as we learn all about the weather. Participants will get to go on a weather-related scavenger hunt as well as make a suncatcher wind chime to take home.
