Little Pharmacy School
Little Pharmacy School offers elementary and middle school-aged students an immersive look into the world of pharmacists. Through interactive demonstrations and pharmacy-themed activities, students develop a knowledge and respect for the importance of medicines and how to handle them safely. They’ll learn about pharmacists’ tools – even get their own mortar and pestle to take home – and learn how medications work in the body to make patients better. They also learn important safety information, such as how to handle poisonings and when to call 911.
The Little Pharmacy School curriculum was designed by a team of board-certified physicians and is led by a trained and background-checked instructor passionate about sharing medical knowledge with aspiring young learners. Watch your child beam with pride when he or she earns a diploma on graduation day!
