Help Your Students Build Social Skills and Problem Solving 

 Engaging, fun, entertaining, valuable, and hassle-free!

 What better way to add spark to your students’ learning than with a field trip with Snapology.  We’ll come directly to your door with everything your students need for an awesome experience. Or you can come to us. We offer field trips at our Discovery Center too.

With specialized themes to build problem-solving and life skills, you’re sure to find one that complements your curriculum. If by chance you can’t, we’ll work with you to customize a program that’s perfect for your students.

No matter which option you choose, we know your students, parents and staff will be delighted. We’ve hosted field trips for hundreds of kids and we know how to design learning programs they absolutely love!

 

Teach Critical Life Skills

As students work together, they will learn first-hand the importance of being able to communicate ideas clearly, weigh solutions, negotiate and decide on a course of action.  

Interactive, Hands-On Activities

Learning through play is one of the most effective ways to teach. Our activities bring abstract concepts in science, technology, engineering, art and math to life! 

No Transportation Costs

Our “on site” option is a cost-effective option for schools that don’t want to pay the extra cost of transporting students to another facility.

Student Safety First

When we come to you, you no longer have to  recruit lots of chaperones to track students off-site.

I arranged for Snapology to come to our school for an on site class during our summer school program. We selected the Snapology Ninjas and Superheroes programs. There were about 35 students in attendance. The instructors were great and the students were engaged for the duration of the program. I highly recommend booking a program through Snapology.

I have had the privilege to work with Snapology of Lancaster and Reading on both a personal and professional basis. My children have attended their programs and love them! This summer I worked closely with Snapology as the children’s librarian of a local library and we were able to offer and run camps at our library throughout the summer, as well as children’s programs and programs for teens as well. The instructors were amazing and many of the kids who attended formed new friendships along the way. I would highly recommend Snapology to everyone! Their programs are both relevant and engaging.

My children love Snapology! They took our first class almost 5 years ago in Reading and we are so glad we did. Snapology offers different themes and types of classes and we are always able to find something that interests both of them. The owners and staff are wonderful and encourage the kids creativity.

    STEAM Small-Group Direct Instruction Program

    Little learners are wired to explore the world around them. At Snapology, we believe that early education works best when it’s based on preschoolers’ natural curiosity and play. Building, tinkering, and experimenting are the foundations for this program.

    Our structured programs are designed just for your
    budding STEAM engineers, scientists, and builders. Inspired by a theme, our instructors will incorporate a STEAM building activity, related story-time, songs, movement, games and more.

    • 2-3 year old class:  30-45 minute program; maximum of 16 students
    • 3-4 year old class: 45-60 minute program; maximum of 16 students

    Large-Group STEM Station Program

    Our station baesed programs are perfect for groups of 20-60 preschool students.  Students rotate through interactive building stations with engaging themes created for little learners.

    Our preschool themed interactive stations are designed to engage and educate young minds in a fun and interactive way. Our experienced teachers lead the activities, ensuring that your students are not only having fun, but also learning and growing.

    Preschool children are at an age where they are rapidly developing their cognitive and motor skills. Preschool play at themed interactive stations using  Jr K’Nex, Duplo Blocks, and Duplo Engineering Bricks can help enhance these skills in a fun and engaging way.

    • Improves Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking Skills: Playing with Jr K’Nex, Duplo Blocks, and Duplo Engineering Bricks allows children to experiment and explore different ways to build structures. They learn how to problem-solve and think critically to create something new and unique.
    • Enhances Creativity and Imagination: Preschool play at themed interactive stations using these building toys encourages children to use their imagination to create their own unique designs. They can also build upon pre-designed structures to make them their own.
    • Develops Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating the various pieces of Jr K’Nex, Duplo Blocks, and Duplo Engineering Bricks helps children develop their fine motor skills. The small movements needed to connect the pieces improve their hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
    • Encourages Socialization: Playing with others at themed interactive stations using these building toys encourages preschoolers to socialize and collaborate with their peers. They can work together to build structures, share ideas, and solve problems.
    • Promotes Language Development: Building with blocks also promotes language development. Children can talk about what they are building, describe their creations, and interact with their peers.

    For this option, you will need to provide a large room, like a gym or cafeteria with multiple tables. The session is directed by Snapology staff, and children are assisted by your staff.
