SciWorks Celebrates Animals on August 20
In conjunction with this summer’s Animal Secrets exhibition, SciWorks is offering two special events on Saturday, August 20. First, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., there will be a special preschool class called “Amazing Animals” for children ages 3-5 and an adult caregiver. Class fee is $7/pair for SciWorks and Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem Members and $15/pair for Non-members (includes museum admission). Pre-registration is required at (336) 714-7105.
In the afternoon, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., the museum will host Animal Extravaganza. Meet a variety of SciWorks’ resident animals and get “up close and personal” with some native wildlife. Enjoy games and giveaways, and bring a blank T-shirt or bookbag for fish printing! All Animal Extravaganza activities are included with museum admission and free for SciWorks and Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem Members. Address: 400 W. Hanes Mill Road, Winston-Salem.

School Choices
By now, most of you have probably already gotten your children signed up for this coming school year, or at least have an idea of the school they will be attending. BUT, we know there are still many of you who struggle with this decision. TMoM has many resources to help you with this choice! First off, we have our Directories page. Here you will find links to our Preschool Directory, Child Care & After School Programs Directory, and Private School Directory. We also have a Tutorial Services Directory, which lists individual as well as group tutoring businesses.

Under this tab you will find sub-categories for all sorts of educational topics like special needs, book ideas, blogs written by private school staff, homeschooling tips, public school links, etc. Scroll through or use the search box to find exactly what you might be looking for.
