Scientific Thinking

Emphasizing a developmentally appropriate approach in a child-centered, emergent curriculum, children are given many opportunities to expand their scientific thinking through hands-on, open-ended exploration. Children develop their thought processes leading to a greater understanding, awareness, and curiosity through investigation, research, and exploration, utilizing a variety of resources and references. Experimentation with tools, materials, and manipulatives encourages children to observe, compare, describe, explore question and discover solutions.
