My Project

Encouraging the innate curiosity of three-year-olds while fostering their analytical abilities is my goal. The significance of STEM education for preschoolers lies in its ability to lay a strong foundation for their future cognitive development, problem-solving skills, and readiness for an increasingly technology-driven world.

These STEM toys will inspire my young learners to participate in STEM activities , stimulate creativity, and foster problem-solving skills.

The frog balancing and counting game will help my students to learn math skills while improving their memory, develop their fine motor skills and stimulate their imaginations. The number bots will enhance my three-year-olds number recognition skills while turning the numbers into robots. The My-First-Microscope and the tabletop magnifiers will introduce my students' to early scientific exploration, develop their observation skills, and lay the the foundation for a deeper understanding of the natural world.

The pretend doctor's kit will encourage exploration of the human body and medical concepts, and sparking interest in science and healthcare professions from a young age. Wings, Waves & Webs: Patterns in Nature is a book that will help develop my young learners understanding of mathematical concepts, such as symmetry and repetition, while encouraging their critical thinking and curiosity about the natural world. We will be able to use the clear view storage bins to store and display science materials in our Discovery Center.

My students are so eager to learn and love to come to school each day. They are the future innovators, leaders, and thinkers who will have the power to shape the world with their ideas and contributions.
