IE STEM preschool
innovation & exploration STEM Early Learning center
At Innovation & Exploration STEM Early Learning Center (IE), our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, nurturing, and loving environment for children as they find and develop their strengths. We want to inspire young children to find the joy of learning through a STEM-based curriculum inside and outside of the classroom. We aim to provide opportunities that will instill confidence, self-worth, and morals in every child (how to be a good person). IE’s main purpose is to also provide an appropriate curriculum to balance a child’s social, emotional, physical, and intellectual well-being.
what is "STEM" education?
At its core, STEM education means educating students in four specific disciplines: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (collectively shortened as STEM). Instead of training students in any individual domain, STEM uses an interdisciplinary and applied approach to equip students better to have a career and consider real-world applications (Myhill, 2020).
