CANCELED FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 7
Tuesdays in January
Science Sprouts is a weekly science enrichment program designed especially for infants, toddlers and their families. At an early age, infants and toddlers have the ability to explore and observe the world around them. Infants and toddlers are natural scientists, and Science Sprouts is a time for them to explore, experiment, and build skills ranging from physical development to social emotional development. Every week we will practice the skills of exploring, hypothesizing, testing, and sharing results. Science Sprouts offers an opportunity for hands-on science exploration in a supportive, community-oriented environment.
Whether we realize it or not, we use math every day. Why not make it fun? In January, Science Sprouts is all about essential math concepts such as counting, sorting, measuring, and data collection. Through creative and interactive play, participants will learn about length, weight, and volume. This program features age-appropriate activities, games, songs, and playful exercises that encourage early learning. Science Sprouts is recommended for children aged 0-3, caregivers, and siblings.
A robust body of research shows that the first three years are the most sensitive period for brain development. There are many early childhood education programs, but few of them take into account the unique developmental needs of infants and toddlers; sometimes called “sensory-motor learners.” By providing a program designed SPECIFICALLY for infants toddlers, we recognize that this is an essential time of development that requires unique tools and teaching.
Hands-on activities may include:
- Comparing the sizes of different objects
- Counting blocks and building towers
- Sorting objects and solving puzzles
