There’s a tendency to believe that the STEAM curriculum — which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics — is highly technical and science-based.
While students at The Amazing Explorers Academy certainly do get more exposure to science and analytical thinking than children at many other daycare and early childhood education programs, there is another element powering the STEAM curriculum: Creativity.
LAKE NONA Pre-School — The Benefits of Creativity
Creativity is an essential part of the Amazing Explorers STEAM-based curriculum. Recent educational studies have found that incorporating play into learning is critical to promoting productive thought.
Playing encourages critical thinking and nurtures intellectual growth in children’s minds. It helps students to grasp complex concepts and arrange them in ways they can understand and use.
But it’s also fun and engaging. By combining play with learning, Amazing Explorers students learn to associate learning with having fun, a skill that can sustain a passion for learning throughout their education and into their adult lives.
