Integrating More STEAM in Preschool

Carl Sagan said, “Every child is a natural-born scientist.” And I believe that is true.

Here are some things to keep in mind when integrating more STEAM into your preschool day.

• Science includes extending ideas and exploring natural impulses.
• Technology isn’t limited to electronic devices but can include the exploration of tools.
• Engineering should expand beyond the block center and should include constructing in both large and small scales.
• Art does not equal crafts, it equals creativity and open-mindedness.
• Math is more than simply learning to count and can take just about any form.
