STEAM is not about one activity. It is a process or a journey. Your child will learn to be curious, to explore and to investigate. At Little Academy, we will take your child through that journey through books, experiments, art projects, educational games and more. Your child will be STEAMing with play; in the classroom, in our laboratory and outdoors, all through intentional play activities.
