SCIENCE Play to learn

Quality early educators know children learn best when they’re having fun. What may appear to be plain good fun and a fair chance of getting wet, is actually an introduction to science.

While playing at the water castle, children learn to experiment and observe. Their early educators encourage problem-solving by asking, “Why do you think that toy floats? What happens if you pour water into the boat? Why do you think the shovel didn’t float? What else do you think will float?”

Visit our website to find star-rated quality early educators who help children prepare for school with hands-on, positive learning experiences.
