Whirligigs Preschool Program

Registration for Fall Whirligigs is now open!

Great Lakes Aquarium hosts a variety of developmentally appropriate drop-off programs for preschool-aged children that encourage them to explore and learn. At Whirligigs, we believe in learning through play. Child-led play is at the center of this program’s curriculum because play provides opportunities for children to develop observation and questioning skills, early math and literacy knowledge, social-emotional skills, and so much more while promoting the development of a deep connection to nature.

Whirligigs meet weekly for a 90-minute class. Our experienced educators provide a safe and inviting space to explore the natural world through age-appropriate, engaging activities. Whirligigs Preschool Program is a drop-off class open to potty-trained children ages 3 – 5. Children must turn 3 before their first registered class. Pre-registration is required.
