DISCOVERY DAYS @ SCHLOW!

Drop by the Children's Department for activities on your days off school!

 

Children learn best when they are able to build knowledge through meaningful play, active exploration of the environment and thoughtfully planned activities... and that's what Discovery Days @ Schlow are about!
