Class Description: We’re going to the zoo, how about you? Explore popular zoo books such as Curious George, If I Ran the Zoo, and Goodnight Gorilla and act like your favorite animals!

Program Type: Our half day, one-week program focuses solely on process. Students will explore the week’s theme through creative play (becoming characters, telling a story) and early literacy. On the final day of class, families are welcome to observe (and participate!). This class promotes arts exploration and will provide a space to learn, grow, and use their imaginations.

Pick Up/Drop Off Information: The entire program will take place at Bethel Lutheran Church (312 Wisconsin Avenue) in downtown Madison. CTM families may NOT use the parking lot, not even for a quick drop off/pick up. They must find parking elsewhere and walk their child to the building. Pick up and drop off will happen in the parking lot foyer, where students and families will be met by the CTM teaching staff each day. The drop off for the first day of the program will be in the Emmaus Room in Bethel Lutheran Church, followed by a brief orientation for parents.
