Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Young minds are like a sponge ready to absorb everything they are exposed to. Early exposure to STEM learning centers will help my very young learners develop their skills in being creative, working with others, and perseverance.

Opportunities to explore STEM materials helps to prepare children for what's to come.

Time goes so quickly that the thought of my 4 year old young learners in the workforce is hard to imagine, but the skills they are learning today is the beginning of the skills they will need tomorrow. These activities will provide them with real world relevance.
