What is "S.T.E.A.M"
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math
- Each
afternoon a different enrichment topic with special activities, playtime,
stories, and more will be offered.
- This
program will be offered Monday – Friday afternoons. This is included in our 9-2:45 and 7-6 tuition.
"Hooked on Books
The children will be taught some of the
tools they need to build confidence in reading. They will be introduced
to age appropriate literature. They will be read books, have
conversations about the books, with possibly food and games relating to the
books. They will be introduced to and study the alphabet, learn sight
words, and create their own books. "Hooked on Books" will
encourage kids to develop a love of reading and help develop skills they'll
need to be life long learners.
“Engineering with
LEGOS"
Count the studs, explore the dimensions and
build different towers; I guarantee you will be thinking math! Legos
allow imaginations to run free. The children will CREATE with Legos, look
for SIMILARITIES, create a lego series, GROUP in relative size order, create
patterns and more!
"Farm to Table
Cooking"
Your child will experience a fun filled
afternoon learning how to grow vegetables and herbs and at the same time use
their culinary skills to cook something "healthy" and
"yummy". Each week they will observe, discover, experiment,
nurture and learn something about the garden. It will also be a creative
and fun cooking class "adding" a little math in a tasty way.
Estimating, measuring, sorting, graphing and using patterns are just a
few of the terms being used by the children. The class will be a hands on
playing in the dirt kind of class.
“Discovering the World of
Art"
Art activities and experiences form a
foundation of this program, which is designed to foster creativity and freedom
of expression. Painting, drawing, mixed media, collage and play are the
creative engine of this unique art learning experience. Dance and
movement is another form of art that will also be introduced to the children.
Why not allow your child to experience an art filled afternoon. You
never know who the next Picasso might be!
"World of Science"
Your child will be introduced to the World of Science.
They will have lots of fun exploring various topics such as colors,
chemical reactions, volcanoes, using a balance scale and magnetic reactions,
just to name a few. The children will be encouraged to make predictions
and will use hands on experiments to see if they were right!
