Imagination Hour

*Does not run during the summer

Our weekly Imagination Hour features a staff chosen book and a related arts and crafts project uniquely designed for parents and caregivers to enjoy one-on-one time with their children. Each week features a different story, making it the perfect activity for you and your family. Imagination Hour is geared for children age 5 and under; however, siblings and guests are always welcome to join!

Free with Admission/Free for Members

Dig Imagine Grow (D.I.G.)

The Discover, Imagine, Grow (D.I.G.) Empowerment through Play program is a free weekly early learning series for children ages 3-5 years old, which began in 2013.

Through the guise of play and exploration, D.I.G. empowers young children by encouraging and guiding the development of the skills needed for later success in learning and life. Paralleling the South Carolina Early Learning Standards, The D.I.G. program not only complements the work being done by the parent and caregivers but also includes them in the learning process. While the curriculum includes learning activities in all realms of Math and Literacy we intend to focus our preschool lessons on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (S.T.E.M.).

This program meets for three ten-week sessions throughout the school year. All families are asked to commit to the 10-week session and may re-enroll for the next session. Registration can be done through our website by clicking "Book Now" and then "Programs".
