PROGRAMMING

WONDERful educational programs

Free programming is designed to excite young minds through deeper engagement and intentional learning opportunities. Programming is offered every weekday.

Open Art Jr.

It’s time to be an artist! Young artists can tap into their inner Matisse or Kusama in TCMU-Spartanburg’s creative art studio. Weekly themes encourage creative skill building.

Sensory Time

Once a month during Sensory Time, the lights are dimmed, our water table is turned off, and rotating activities in the classroom are self-guided for learning and play.

steamWORKS Jr.

Step into TCMU-Spartanburg’s STEAM based classroom! Young minds can explore weekly themes through science activities designed to encourage creative problem solving and hands-on learning. We’ll even get a little messy sometimes!

TCMU Tots

Skill-building and community-building for toddlers and their caregivers! Little ones ages 2-5 will explore role-playing, storytelling, and interactive activities, fostering early social skills and a world of make-believe adventures that could include an ice cream shop, car wash or post office!
