Robotics and STEAM Park

Each day brings new discoveries and accomplishments, reflecting the incredible growth and development that is taking place. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to both the children, parents, and our dedicated teachers for making this transition such a positive and memorable experience. Your collective efforts have contributed to a week filled with laughter, curiosity, and shared milestones. Here's to many more weeks of continued success and joy.

In our curriculum, Grade R learners have the opportunity to participate in Robotics lessons, Grade 00 learners engage in STEAM Park activities, and the younger children enjoy creative Lego soft brick building and creating.

Grade 00 children were captivated by the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) for their first lesson this week and Grade R children were fascinated with the Robotics Lab. They eagerly look forward to attending their weekly lessons. Below is an overview of why STEM education is vital for pre-schoolers.

Understanding STEM in Preschool

STEM in preschool education fosters a love for learning and curiosity in young children. It's a holistic approach that encourages hands-on exploration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. STEM activities for preschoolers emphasise play, discovery, and imagination.

The Importance of STEM Education for Preschoolers Building a Strong Foundation

Early exposure to STEM concepts lays a solid foundation for future learning. Preschoolers are naturally curious, and STEM activities harness that curiosity to help them build essential skills and develop a lifelong love for learning.

Developing Critical Thinking 

STEM activities promotes critical thinking skills. Children learn to observe, predict, and experiment, which are valuable skills for solving problems and making decisions.

Encouraging Creativity

STEM encourages creativity and innovation. Preschoolers can explore and invent, making connections between different subjects and expressing their ideas in unique ways.

Hands-On Learning

Preschoolers learn best through hands-on experiences. STEM activities often involve building, experimenting, and exploring, which align perfectly with the natural way young children learn.

Aftercare

Our aftercare program is designed to ensure children are cared for in a calm, engaging afternoon environment. We offer a nutritious snack and beverage to keep them comfortable and ready for the rest of the day’s activities.

Because the mornings are full and active, rest time is essential for our younger groups. It helps them enjoy the afternoon with ease and comfort.

• Crackerjacks (1–3 years): rest from 12:00–13:45

• Grade 000 (3–4 years) and Grade 00 (4–5 years): rest from 12:45–13:45
  
  

A sleeping bag will be debited to your account, as having their own school bedding supports a peaceful rest routine.

During the week, there may be an afternoon set aside for a short, age-appropriate screen-time moment in the auditorium. This provides a gentle movie experience that the children look forward to.

Aftercare services close strictly before 17:00, helping everyone end the day in a settled, predictable way.
