The Saint Louis Science Center’s Preschool Science Series is a free, drop-in open-exploration Learning Lab for children 18 months to 5 years and their caregivers. From 9:30 to 11:30 AM on program days, families explore stations with hands-on experiments, playful STEM activities and open-ended materials, staying as long as they like as space allows. It is not a class or drop-off: one adult per child is required, and capacity is about 10 children. The current theme listed is ‘Outstanding Oceans’. Older siblings may join as observers or helpers.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Page copy also says 'Come wonder, explore, and discover with us all summer long!' (seasonal leftover); upcoming-events widget only showed Oct 14–17, so days after that week should be confirmed on the calendar. Summer STEM Explorers camps are summer 2027 only (out of window).
