BRINGING S.T.E.A.M. TO LIFE
Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (S.T.E.A.M.) are essential areas of learning that contribute to creating a well-rounded and dynamic education. Buena Park Montessori Academy embraces S.T.E.A.M. in our approach to provide your child with hands-on experience to expand their creative, problem-solving, innovative, and dialogue skills.
S
SCIENCE
is just more than bubbles and magnifying glasses. It is a part of our daily life! Our fun science activities and experiments will allow children to explore, experiment, question, discover and understand natural and human-made objects and forces.
T
TECHNOLOGY
is all around us and progressing rapidly. It is not only cell phones, tablets, computers, etc., but simple technology tools such as pulleys, wheels, ramps, crayons, rulers, and much more. Children will experiment, learn and understand that simple technology tools help us accomplish big tasks.
E
ENGINEERING
is all about finding how things are built and why. Children have fun designing and creating straw bridges, structures out of cups, sticks, and blocks to test balance - among many other objects - while discovering how the things in their world are built and how they work.
A
ARTS
are fun for all children as it is a way of knowing and understanding the world. Diving into fingerpaint or acting in a play helps children learn to explore their expressive sides and expand their creative thinking skills.
M
MATH
is everywhere! Children are natural mathematicians actively making sense of the world around them. Children will learn math skills such as numbers, counting, sequencing, matching, sorting, classifying, etc. by exploring and experimenting with hands-on, manipulative materials, math games, and activities.
