Future Scientists

Children’s innate sense of wonder makes them natural scientists.

The future scientist will learn by doing, asking questions, interacting with others and figuring out how things work.

Children learn measuring, weighing and counting. They solve problems and develop an understanding of the nature and properties of substances.

They learn to observe, predict, experiment and work together while playing alongside others.
