Science in the Early Years
We recognise the importance of bringing science into early years. The government currently has an agenda for STEM with children 5+, but we passionately believe in cultivating this from the beginning of their childhood. We offer 4 packages with this in mind.
Creating awe and wonder
Children are naturally curious about the world around them and approach challenges like mini-scientists. They see the world with fresh and curious eyes. We offer a twilight session that focuses on creating awe, wonder and curiosity through science in the early years.
