Early Childhood Education

Pre-STEM for Preschoolers, Parent/Child

CSC strives to ensure access to Lake Champlain by all community members. Mission-based programs eliminate barriers to access based on gender, ability, income, age, and now, with our latest program, race, culture & ethnicity. Now in our 29th year, we continue to find new ways to provide lake access and life lessons for all. This educational program will be piloted to determine format, design, registration methods, and effective outreach methods. Held on Saturday mornings throughout the summer, this program will engage parents/guardians and their preschool-aged children in Early STEM activities, with funds supporting the design and implementation of the program, keeping it affordable for children from low-income families.
