Programs
Take a journey through the human body and uncover how it all works together.
Through experiments, investigations, outdoor exploration, creative projects, and take-home crafts, young scientists will develop curiosity, confidence, and problem-solving skills while learning alongside their peers. Students will also have opportunities to build friendships through group activities, science games, and shared outdoor adventures at PMEC.
Homeschool Science Explorers provides a fun balance of science learning, creativity, exploration, and community for young homeschoolers.
* This is a drop-off class
* We will need a minimum of 6 students
* If weather allows all classes will have an element of outdoor time.

Chenais
Hi, my name is Chenais (Sha-nay) and I’m so excited to be here. I live in town with my husband and two young children. We spend as much time outdoors as we can playing, learning, adventuring and exploring. I love teaching, and helping others. I look forward to being an educator at PMEC and expanding my knowledge of the outdoors.
Hello! My name is Carolyn; I live in town with my husband, two daughters, and son. I hold a B.A. in English Language and Literature and a Master of Education. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by elements of nature—bringing collections home from the beach or the mountains—and we’ve encouraged this same curiosity in our children. Recently, I’ve decided to pursue a career at PMEC that combines my love for nature with my background in education. I'm excited to be a part of the team! My hobbies include skiing, ice skating, hiking, paddleboarding, running, baking, writing, and the concept of hygge.
