Each week, children will dive into hands-on fun that sparks imagination and builds early STEM skills - all in a supportive, active, and creativity‑filled environment. From colorful chemistry and mini engineering challenges to nature adventures and sensory investigations, every session helps young learners grow their confidence while having an amazing time.

Activities may include:

  • Building bridges, towers, and imaginative structures
  • Nature walks, scavenger hunts, and cloud gazing
  • Cooking science and colorful experiments like rainbow celery and paint‑with‑salt
  • Bubble exploration, sink‑or‑float testing, and ice excavation
  • Paper airplanes, cup phones, magnet fishing, and simple engineering
  • Slime, cornstarch oobleck, color mixing, and cloud-in-a-jar investigations

Through playful lessons, movement, creativity, and problem‑solving, our young scientists will explore how things grow, move, mix, stack, float, melt, and change - all while having fun and making new friends.

STEM & Play is the perfect blend of learning and laughter, designed to nurture curiosity and inspire a lifelong love of discovery. We can’t wait to explore with you!
