Soar Lab Brings Hands-on Learning Close to Home

The Soar in 4 program has opened the all-new Soar Lab. Located at the Sara Scott Harllee Center, the lab gives children and families hands-on opportunities to develop early learning skills and explore a variety of educational experiences. Admission is free for qualifying families.

Children who visit museums and hands-on learning spaces early in life tend to develop stronger skills in reading, math, and science. At the Soar Lab, kids can build prekindergarten and kindergarten readiness skills through interactive learning spaces featuring art, tinkering, engineering, and outdoor discovery areas. Resources for families and caregivers are also available to help support their involvement in early childhood education.

Free entry is available to:
  • SDMC Student PreK-3rd Grade with ID: Free with 1 caring adult (Must be registered and attend a SDMC Public School)
