Why add STEM to your preschool homeschool routine?

Research consistently shows that exposing children ages 3-6 to math and science-related activities through play and discovery-based learning can have a significant impact on their academic achievements later in life. In particular when young children are exposed to math and science prior to kindergarten. 

Problem Solving

STEM learning increasing problem solving skills

Observe, Collect Data, and Solve Problems

Preschoolers get to make observations to determine what works, what doesn't, and why. Then they can determine the best changes to make to solve the problems observed.

Math Development

STEM Learning, increasing number sense and building math skills in preschool

A Variety of Math Activities, and Math in the Real World

A preschooler's number sense and math skills is a predictor of math achievements later.

Decision Making

Evaluating Evidence and Making Decisions Moving Forward

Learning how to process information and use that information to make sound, rational decisions as early as preschool gives them a head start for success.

Information Processing

STEM Learning in preschool increases proficiency in analyzing and interpreting data later.

Interpreting and Analyzing the Data with Accuracy

Guiding preschoolers through their observations, analysis, and interpretations of the STEM activities inceases their proficiency in analyzing and interpreting data independently later in life.

Hands-On

Experience

STEM Learning in preschool is much about hands on learning and experience

Experimentation through
Sensory Processing

Teaching preschoolers math and
science through hands-on
experimentation offers experiences
that prove valuable throughout
their careers.

Memory

Retention

STEM Learning as early as preschool increases memory retention

Building Knowledge and
Boosting Retention

Research shows that STEM education
proves a powerful increase in
retention. Children who are
exposed to STEM education in early
childhood are far more likely to
increase and retain their
knowledge base as they get older.

Give your preschoolers and early learners the head start they deserve. Don't let them miss out on all the wonders they can discover at this time in their lives. 

Whether you're new to homeschooling or are an experienced homeschool parent, whether you're teaching in pods or teaching just your little ones, you can start Discovering STEM in the World Around Us today and watch their brilliance grow.
