All children from early age want to observe, explore, and discover the world around them. These are basic abilities that every scientist needs! Yes! Children are naturally scientists!
At Together Family Child Care, we provide opportunities for children to unleash their inner scientist, by using their senses and tools. We discuss their explorations, listen to, acknowledge and encourage their questions and ideas. We also take advantage of the science potential of everyday materials and experiences inside and outside of our school.
