Our Science Program
Meet Our Science Teachers!
Ms. Pat and Ms. Lauren have been with DUMC Preschool for over 20 years. As co-teachers, they have combined their love of science to create a new science program for our 4 year-old and TK classes. Our students visit science one time a month for a hands-on learning experience!
Our Program
Just as listening to stories, and learning the alphabet introduces young children to the world of literacy, inquire science gives children the building blocks to learn how to observe their world, ask questions, and solve problems
