Science

Children are constantly engaged in research and experimentation, testing hypotheses, exploring properties, making important discoveries and learning how things work. Through our science curriculum, teachers carefully plan experiences that not only develop scientific skills but also nurture children’s natural curiosity. We use children’s natural inclination to ask questions about nature and their environment and weave these questions and answers into our curriculum:

• Opportunities to observe and explore nature
• Simple science experiences
• Predicting daily weather
• Using documenting observations through pictures and charts
• Problem solving with the guidance of teacher prompts
• Exploring maps, magazines, and other resources
• Regular outdoor walks that focus on nature discover and the environment
