Stimulate brain development through sensory-rich STEM activities. Introduce basic STEM concepts in a playful and accessible way. Build early problem-solving skills, cause-and-effect understanding, and spatial awareness. Encourage curiosity, exploration, and a love of learning. Support language development through verbal interactions and early STEM-related vocabulary.
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.
Infants experience STEM concepts through sensory play. They explore colors, textures, sounds, and shapes, which supports early brain development and stimulates curiosity. Materials like soft blocks, textured toys, and safe musical instruments are used to engage the senses and encourage early learning.
Through simple activities like pressing buttons, shaking objects, or pushing buttons on light-up toys, infants start to understand how their actions lead to reactions, which forms the basis of early engineering and scientific thinking.
We introduce infants to basic STEM tools, such as stacking toys, textured balls, and simple puzzles. These activities help develop motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and spatial awareness, all of which are foundational to later STEM learning.
Verbal interactions, singing, and reading are integral parts of our STEM Infant Program. Through the use of STEM-related vocabulary, we foster language development while introducing basic concepts such as "big," "small," "up," "down," and "heavy," all of which support early mathematical and scientific thinking.
Our infant program emphasizes open-ended exploration. Babies are encouraged to touch, feel, and interact with safe objects that stimulate their curiosity and problem-solving skills, while fostering their natural love for discovery.
