School Programs
Make learning come alive at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center. Plan a school trip now! Our school programs are designed to enhance your school's curriculum by providing interactive learning experiences. We offer fun, hands-on exploration of the world here at SM&NC - whether it is art, farm, science, nature, or history.
Program Information:
- Programs are suitable for grades Kindergarten through Grade 6 and the content is adjusted for grade level.
- Programs are about 45-60 minutes in length (except where noted).
- Individual programs are not available for groups smaller than ten, with the exception of Special Education classes.
- Many of our programs are designed to support the Connecticut State Curriculum Content Standards. Applicable standards are listed with each program description.
- If you choose to have a Program, you can still visit the Heckscher Farm, exhibits in the Main Museum Building, the Overbrook Nature Center, enjoy our trails, Nature's Playground, have a picnic by the lakeside, and visit the Otter Pond!

- Fill out a registration form (in school program brochure) with choices of dates and times. Allow at least two weeks lead time before the date of your visit. Mail or fax your completed form to:
