For the youngest learners in the School District of Lancaster, learning often begins with curiosity. Throughout the school year, the district’s PreK program creates opportunities for students and their families to explore the world beyond the classroom through special learning adventures that bring education to life.
One recent trip took PreK students and their families to the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in Harrisburg. The Whitaker Center is widely recognized as Central Pennsylvania’s premier destination for education and cultural enrichment, offering interactive experiences centered around Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics.
For Pre-K students, this type of environment supports essential early development. As they climbed, balanced, and built, students strengthened coordination and motor skills while also developing problem solving and early critical thinking. The hands-on nature of the exhibits allowed learning to happen through movement and play.
These trips are part of a larger effort to strengthen the connections between families, students, and educators.
