“Play is the highest form of research.”

-Albert Einstein

So many activities, so little time. All of them are important to the growth and creative outlet to each child. Here are just a few of the MANY benefits of S.T.E.M. play. These are the things that are a part of our curriculum on a daily basis.

• Conflict resolution
• Regulating emotions
• Problem-solving
• Higher critical thinking skills
• Builds self-esteem
• Trial and error skills

The excitement was high because of the new playdough. We added colorful sticks, people, and small animals for extra fun! One very creative friend made a penguin nest.
