S.T.E.M
Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
STEM helps children to explore, observe, ask questions, predict and integrate their learning. It provides intellectual learning that has to do with reasoning, hypothesizing and predicting. As a preschool we want children to learn their academic skills in the service of their intellect so when they come and say, show me how to measure this or show me how to write that, they are doing an investigation – which is an intellectually based activity and it becomes natural to them.
The importance of play in STEM
There are no greater natural scientists and engineers than young children. High quality early learning environments provide children with the structure in which to build their natural inclination to explore, to build and to question. It comes down to letting the children play!
The benefits of STEM
The link between early childhood and STEM is indisputable. Early exposure to STEM supports children’s overall academic growth, develops early critical thinking and reasoning skills, and enhances later interest in STEM study and careers.
