My Project

Our kindergarten students are active, hands-on learners. They are eager to learn and thrive with interactive and engaging learning projects. For most of them, kindergarten science is the springboard for lifelong discovery learning.

The science materials will make our STEAM experiences “official” as kindergarten students explore hands-on science.

The lab coats and goggles will enhance their learning through the use of real scientific gear and materials. This exposure to science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics will build foundational skills and curiosity about the scientific world and the opportunities it holds.
