A Special Day of Discovery

Every Thursday, our preschool transforms into a vibrant scientific laboratory where young minds explore, question, and discover through our comprehensive STEM Science program. This dedicated day provides children with enriching experiences that foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for scientific exploration.

Engaging Curriculum Topics

Our STEM Thursday curriculum rotates through fascinating subjects including:

• Geology and earth sciences

• Human anatomy and body systems

• Plant life cycles and botany

• Simple physics with magnets and motion

• Properties of matter and materials

• Weather patterns and seasons

• Animal habitats and classifications

• Basic chemistry through safe experiments

Our STEM Day Structure

Morning Science Lab

The day begins with an engaging introduction to the week's scientific concept. Our teachers present age-appropriate explanations and demonstrations that capture children's imagination and set the stage for deeper exploration.

Interactive Experiments

Children observe carefully designed experiments that bring scientific principles to life. These demonstrations spark questions and predictions, encouraging children to think like scientists.

Rotating Learning Stations

Craft Room Children express scientific concepts through creative projects that reinforce the day's learning. Art and science merge as students create models, drawings, and crafts related to our STEM topic.

Hands-On Room This dedicated space allows children to conduct their own simple experiments and explorations under guidance. They touch, manipulate, measure, and observe scientific materials directly.

Discovery Zone Our specialized learning environment provides in-depth, immersive experiences with the day's topic. Children engage in self-directed discovery with carefully curated materials that extend their understanding.

Reflection and Discussion

We conclude each STEM Thursday with a group gathering where children share observations, ask questions, and discuss their favorite discoveries. This reflection time helps solidify learning and builds communication skills.
