Preschools - CuriOdyssey

Inspiring Preschoolers to Explore and Discover

Preschoolers are naturally curious and instinctual scientists. CuriOdyssey’s science workshops foster this age group’s fascination with the world and provide age-appropriate opportunities to engage in authentic science exploration. These programs provide learners with a solid foundation in both science and other subject areas.

CuriOdyssey is a nonprofit and relies on program fees and contributed support to provide care for our animals and give the superpower of science to the next generation of critical thinkers.
