Mystic Country, Connecticut

The Children’s Museum of Southeastern Connecticut (CMSECT), 409 Main St., invites children to participate in its preschool science programs, held Wednesday afternoons at 1:30 pm, beginning March 2.

From microscopes to binoculars, critters to rocks, launching rockets to volcanoes, children are exposed to many facets of the scientific world in these classes. Each week has a different theme: make paper on Mar. 2; learn about the earth’s geology on Mar. 9; ice is more than cool on Mar. 16; the many ways to tell time is on the agenda on Mar. 23; and talking about growing up is slated for Mar. 30.

Each Wednesday session is an hour long and is best for ages 4-6. Each program costs $9 per member, $15 nonmember, and includes museum admission for the child. For information visit www.childrensmuseumsect.org. To register, call the museum at (860) 691-1111.
