K–5 STEAM PROGRAMS

Through hands-on exploration and creativity, our K–5 STEAM programs turn science, art, and curiosity into joyful discovery-helping kids learn, build, and grow through play.

STEAM

Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math.

Through playful exploration and hands-on challenges, students gain skills in problem-solving, creativity, teamwork, and curiosity that last a lifetime.

Each two-hour STEAM program begins with hands-on, exploratory stations and ends with imaginative projects that spark curiosity and confidence. Our teachers honor self-discovery by giving students choices in their own education—helping create lifelong lovers of learning.
