Are you fascinated by sea creatures, jungle cats, or birds of prey? Do you wish you could pet every dog, feed every horse, or examine every insect? If you're curious and excited about the animal kingdom, then this class is for you! Together we'll journey through the amazing world of animals as we learn about their habitats, behaviors, and adaptations. This class blends creativity and discovery: we'll craft animal-themed projects, engage in imaginative play and storytelling, share personal experiences, and investigate animals that coexist with us outside at Sunita Williams School. Using both the indoors and outdoors as a space for adventure, we'll celebrate curiosity, encourage exploration, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the animals we know and love!

NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day. All students enrolled in an NCE class (including those in NEDP) will be dismissed from their classroom to the designated NCE waiting area, where they will be supervised by the NCE Onsite Coordinator until their NCE Class Instructor arrives. Students are welcome to have a nut-free snack during this time.
Pickup is promptly at 4:00pm. NEDP students will be escorted to NEDP at the end of their NCE class.
