On Thursdays and select Saturdays, kids and their favorite adults learn together through marine-themed crafts, games, songs, stories, and role plays, and then enjoy a special guided visit to a Mote exhibit. Activities in Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon, and Saturday classes are new every week!
(Our brand new Mommy and Me Masters program is now being offered on Thursday afternoons for students who attend pre-school in the morning time.)
On Tuesdays, kids and their favorite adults explore coastal habitats by wading in the water and collecting marine animals with dip nets. Tuesday classes, known as Exploring the Bay, depend on good weather, and kids and adults need to wear closed-toed, closed-heel water shoes. Find out what to bring and wear. Activities in Tuesday classes repeat every week, but the animals we find will provide an element of surprise!
  
"The Mommy and Me program at Mote is the most hands on, in-depth class I have found for my son Nicholas. The classes are very informative and the children learn so much about not only our immediate area, but the world as a whole."
- Susan Cavanaugh, Mommy & Me at Mote mom
