Abstract

Based upon years of experience in the education sector and specifically teaching children in the field of Early Childhood Education, it is common that one finds many students that struggle in mathematics and science. When more than the average student struggles in math and science, that struggle, if prevented early on, can help children to thrive in their future studies. Early introduction is key. Solving the problem of early math and science academic support will require the introduction of Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) programs in early childhood education settings. The provision of a grant to add more STEM based materials, math and science concepts will be introduced early on. Getting science and math based materials in the hands of children while young, can impact their future tremendously. In addition, training staff and educators on how to apply STEM based activities in their curriculum will strongly benefit the children of the program
