Cultivate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking through STEM exploration. Build a strong foundation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Encourage problem-solving skills through hands-on, inquiry-based learning. Develop early math, scientific, and engineering concepts in a playful environment. Promote teamwork, communication, and social skills through collaborative learning experiences. Instill a lifelong love of learning by making STEM fun, engaging, and accessible.
We are committed to providing a rich, hands-on STEM learning environment where preschoolers can explore, discover, and develop essential skills for success in the future. Our STEM Preschool Program is designed to foster a sense of wonder and inquiry, helping children grow into confident, creative problem-solvers who are excited to explore the world around them.
At Guide and Grow, we’re dedicated to helping infants build a strong foundation in STEM through meaningful, playful experiences that promote development in all areas. Our STEM Infant Program provides the ideal environment for babies to start their learning journey, laying the groundwork for lifelong curiosity and growth.
Preschoolers are naturally curious, and our STEM activities allow them to explore the world around them through experimentation and play. From simple science experiments, like observing the growth of plants or experimenting with different materials, to hands-on building activities, children are encouraged to make discoveries that will shape their understanding of the world.
Building and creating are at the heart of the STEM Preschool Program. Children use blocks, LEGO bricks, and other construction materials to design and build structures, vehicles, and machines. These activities introduce engineering concepts such as balance, force, and structure, encouraging kids to experiment and think critically about how things are built and how they work.
We introduce early math concepts through fun, interactive activities such as counting, sorting, pattern-making, and measuring. Preschoolers explore concepts like numbers, shapes, sizes, and basic geometry, helping them understand math in a playful and engaging way. These activities develop their spatial awareness, logical thinking, and early problem-solving skills.
Preschoolers are encouraged to ask questions, explore, and experiment with simple scientific tools and activities. Whether it’s mixing ingredients to make a fizzy reaction or observing the weather, children are introduced to the scientific method of inquiry—making predictions, testing ideas, and reflecting on results. They learn to think like scientists and are introduced to concepts such as observation, hypothesis, and experimentation.
In our STEM Preschool Program, we integrate technology in a balanced and age-appropriate way. Children engage with interactive, educational apps, digital games, and simple coding tools that help develop their understanding of technology. This fosters their curiosity about how technology works and introduces them to basic concepts of programming, logic, and problem-solving in a fun, interactive environment.
