STEM for Babies: Sensory Science Starts Here
Even the tiniest learners deserve big experiences. At IE, our infant program gently introduces babies to the foundations of STEM through sensory-rich play and caregiver connection. We create a calm, loving environment where babies feel safe, seen, and stimulated.
"Infants need secure relationships and rich experiences to build the foundation for all future learning." (Copple & Bredekamp, 2009; NAEYC, 2019) "
- Sensory exploration helps babies understand the world around them using their five senses.
- Developmentally appropriate toys encourage reaching, grasping, tracking, and cause-and-effect learning.
- Language development is a priority—through songs, stories, and meaningful caregiver talk.
- Scientific thinking begins with curiosity. We introduce babies to age-appropriate STEM concepts and books to build vocabulary and ignite early inquiry.
