This course is designed to build educators' confidence and competence in incorporating STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) concepts and bringing them alive in the early childhood education classroom. STEM concepts advance children's cognitive and creative thinking skills and introduce them to a variety of topics and concepts that support their learning and growth in all other academic areas. Take away from the course hands-on activity ideas that can be implemented in the ECE classroom immediately! Learn how to use STEM activities to support other areas of learning and evaluate developmental progress through observance of participation in STEM activities.

NOTE: Required book must be acquired separately.

This course is applicable towards the Early Childhood Education Certificate.

I have been in the field of early childhood education for over 20 years. I started as a live-in nanny on Long Island, near New York City and have worked in private preschools, state preschools, Head Start preschools, special education classrooms, as a behavior consultant, private contractor, and reflective practice mentor/coach. I have five children of my own who have given me almost 15 years of personal experience so far, and I was a foster parent for over a decade, which gave me lots of personal practice as well. I am passionate about helping future early childhood educators fulfill their dreams and go into the classroom with confidence. My hope is that my students become as passionate and devoted to the field as I am.
