Preschool & Pre-K STEAM Lab
We offer children numerous ways to explore the world around them and to figure out how and why things work. Our STEAM Lab is a supplemental learning space filled with unique exploration and educational materials focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM). Classrooms use this space for small group learning or as a whole class.
STEAM is an educational model that:
- Encourages students to think outside the box and solve problems innovatively
- Helps students make connections between seemingly unrelated subjects
- Fosters creative problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking
- Takes STEM to the next level by integrating arts practices, elements, design principles, and standards.
