STEM and Problem Solving

Curious minds, hands-on discovery, endless possibilities

Our STEM activities inspire curiosity and encourage children to explore, experiment, and ask questions about the world around them. From floating and sinking experiments, mixing oil and water or bicarbonate with vinegar, to safely lighting fires in our outdoor firepit, children learn through hands-on discovery. We also introduce engineering from a young age through block play and construction activities, and explore concepts such as light and shadow, encouraging children to investigate how and why things work.

These experiences (just to name a few) develop critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and perseverance, giving children a strong foundation for future learning while sparking a lifelong love of discovery and experimentation.
