We spark imaginative learning for your preschoolers!
Our Preschool Workshops are hands-on, minds-on, 30- to 45-minute science programs that enable young children to work closely with a Mad Scientist and explore a variety of science topics through fun experiments and activities. With topics ranging from color and magnets to light and the senses, kids are introduced to the science that is around them every day!
Our fun and fully-trained instructors come to you with all the materials necessary to run our dynamic programs!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are the Workshops held?
Wherever your kids are! We come to you, whether it's to your classroom, your library, or your home.
"Fantastic! The kids loved it…they’re already asking when [the Mad Scientist] can come back!” – Noah's Ark Child Care, Fall River, MA
Are Workshops only offered at certain times or on certain days?
Nope! We're available morning, evening, weekday, or weekends. If your kids are around, so are we!
What kind of space do you need?
We need enough space for kids to work comfortably without being disturbed. Since many activities are done as small groups, tables or floor space tends to work better than desks. Depending on the topic being offered, we may also need access to water, electricity, or a room that can be darkened somewhat (to make some experiments even cooler!).
"The program was excellent! The children talked about it for hours. It was definitely fun, engaging, and educational. We can’t wait to have you back again!” – Noah's Ark Child Care, Fall River, MA
There’s a particular Mad Scientist that we really like! Could we request him or her?
Our Mad Scientists recognize the great compliment it is to be specifically requested for a program. Unfortunately, due to the number of programs we typically run and the intricacies of program scheduling, travel, equipment distribution, and time off for our instructors, we cannot guarantee a specific Mad Scientist for a specific program. While we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate requests, we can only assure you that you will be satisfied with the excellent Mad Scientist that does your program, whomever it may be.
What if we would prefer a male/female Mad Scientist?
Similar to a request for a specific Mad Scientist, we cannot guarantee the gender of your Mad Scientist for all of the same reasons. We can assure you that you will be satisfied with any one of our excellent Mad Scientists.
"The children loved the Mad Mixtures! The activities allowed them to experiment and discover. The instructor was very pleasant and knew how to gear the lesson for preschoolers. Thanks so much!" - Director, Easton Learning Adventures, N. Easton, MA
