My Project

Kindergarteners explore their world through hands on experiences. One of our most engaging units is about Pushing or pulling an object! We learn the forces can affect motion when you change the speed, change the direction, and even the shape of an object affects its motion! We need hands on materials to make these activities even more engaging. We are ready to get this learning launched!

Marble construction pieces encourage critical thinking and STEM skills with fun and dynamic learning!

A variety of tools and designs enable children to focus, pay attention and utilize their creative minds. Multiple sets and types of construction develop visual learning from 3D forms, geometrical shapes, architectural design, magnetic polarities and structural engineering.

Building further promotes problem solving skills, hand-eye coordination, and trains fine motor skills by playing. Kids play while learning and using the laws of physics, gravity, brain power, imagination and strong magnetism.

Families at our school often have to prioritize essential needs at home leaving school the only place children can use real-life and kid-friendly objects to manipulate and grow their understanding of the world around them.
