What is STEM all about?!
​STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and math. When we break down the acronym into its parts, we see that early childhood programs practice STEM activities every day. Science activities include exploring water and sand, comparing and contrasting natural materials like rocks and soil, rolling balls across the room, and looking through a magnifying glass to count how many legs are on the bug that was caught during outdoor play. Technology activities include computers, but also identifying simple machines like gears and wheels and pulleys. Engineering in preschool happens in the block area. There children are planning and designing structures every day with little teacher direction. Math activities include counting and matching shapes and making patterns. Measuring is easy too, especially with unit blocks where two of one size equal one of the next size up.
At KidCare LC, we understand how important the early years are to both you and your child. This is a time of remarkable growth, when children are experiencing rapid development, learning new skills, and progressing steadily towards physical, intellectual, and social-emotional milestones. With that in mind, our curriculum provides intentional guidance and rich experiences that build upon individual strengths and talents. We provide creative learning experiences they enjoy, and the intellectually challenging opportunities they deserve.

​The Benefits of Music
Music ignites all areas of child development: intellectual, social and emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.
We offer Kindermusik as part of our curriculum!
Kindermusik is a research-based music program. That means every activity in every lesson of every unit of the curricula has a specific developmental purpose and benefit. Kindermusik’s engaging, developmentally appropriate music classes offer thoughtfully integrated sequences of activities that set the stage for optimal, multi-sensory learning. Each lesson is designed to boost school readiness, nurture multiple areas of a child’s development, and tap into a variety of individual learning styles.
We must use time creatively.
