About
The Malvern School offers hands-on learning stations where children take part in sensory exploration, arts and crafts, reading, manipulative play, and dramatic play. The program includes activities in STEM, creative arts, sign language, and global citizenship, as well as seasonal ideas such as water play ideas for toddlers, spring activities for families, and building a birdhouse with recycled materials. Children use two age-appropriate, custom designed rooms called the Fascination Station and the Discovery Room for these activities.
