The ten learning stations focuses on things such as storytelling, colors, and shapes. The station signs are offered in English and in Spanish.
Gulfport Kiwanis Club President Donny Fuller tells News 25 that the hands-on learning station will help with children’s attention spans. “Kids today, you know, they don’t like being in the classroom all the time. You got to have some fun activities for them to learn. So, this gives them some fun activities to learn and they can also do it with their families.”

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - In July when many children will be out of school for summer break, class will be in session for students in the Gulfport School District. One preschool/after school is working to make this a smooth transition for parents as the year-round school year gets closer.
“We made the decision to adopt the same school calendar,” said Kid Academy Executive Director Matt Dickens. “So when the Gulfport school kids are starting in July now, our pre-school students are going to start in July. We’re going to follow that same schedule to stay on track with the Gulfport School District because roughly around 90% of our students are future Gulfport School District children.”
