My Project
Help our preschoolers with special needs witness the magic of metamorphosis! By providing caterpillars and ladybug larvae kits, our students will observe firsthand how these tiny creatures grow, change, and take on their final forms as butterflies and ladybugs.
Our young scientists love exploring the natural world!
They learn best through hands-on experiences, and nothing sparks their excitement more than real-life science in action. This project will give them a front-row seat to one of nature’s most fascinating transformations.The children will observe each stage—from tiny larvae to chrysalises and pupae, and finally, to the beautiful butterflies and ladybugs they will release into nature.This project will encourage scientific observation and teach responsibility as students care for the insects
