Programs
YUCK! is designed specifically for children in grades 1-3, with a mission to spark curiosity and fascination about the intriguing aspects of nature. We believe that exploring the natural world promotes holistic well-being - physically, mentally, and emotionally - for young learners. Through imaginative presentations, we aim to ignite a thirst for knowledge about our environment. At YUCK!, we celebrate the joy of learning with activities that are lively, explorative, and bursting with creativity!
