Exploring Space Through Wonder & Discovery
Interactive Astronomy Course for Kids
Did you know Jupiter has 79 moons?
That astronauts live and work in space right now?
That space travel is becoming more real and accessible every year?
In BIG Astronomy, kids step into the role of real space explorers as they discover how the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars work through playful learning, visuals, and guided discovery. Inspired by modern space exploration and real missions, this course turns big cosmic ideas into exciting, confidence-building moments kids truly understand.
Children naturally grow curious as they learn how day and night happen, why planets are different, what stars really are, and how humans travel and live in space. Each class builds engagement through stories, movement, imagination, and conversation meeting every child exactly where they are.
By the end of the course, kids feel proud, capable, and amazed by the universe they’re part of with a strong foundation of real astronomy knowledge and a deeper connection to the world beyond Earth.

The course consists of 4 weekly sessions, each lasting exactly 40 minutes. We have found this to be the perfect "Active Engagement" window long enough to dive deep into nutrition, but short enough to keep every child focused and energized.
To keep our classroom a safe, private, and high-energy space for all children, we do not provide recordings. However, you can log in to our live Zoom sessions from any device, anywhere—so you never have to miss the fun!
We suggest the age range as a guide, but we know that parents know their children best! Our classes are designed so that each age group takes away different levels of understanding. No matter their age, they will learn at their own pace and find something fascinating. If you feel your child is ready to join the course, they are more than welcome.
We want you to feel confident joining the club! We offer a full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before the start date. If after the first session you feel it isn't the right fit, we offer a partial refund of $80. After that point, refunds are no longer available as your child's seat is reserved
