Early STEAM Framework
Early STEAM education creates lifelong learning skills for children!
It is never too early to start learning Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM). In fact, parents, caregivers, and children already use STEAM every day! As babies and older children grow and learn about the world around them, they are already using STEAM skills.
Adults and older siblings can guide children's STEAM learning in fun and easy ways such as:
-
Making everyday outings into learning experiences
-
Asking children questions about the things around them
-
Reading books and singing songs, and more!
-
Culturally relevant reading and early learning programs
ELWC’s robust Early STEAM Framework emphasizes four main elements:
-
Equity and quality around access to resources for parents
-
Parent engagement and leadership to design and implement projects/programs
-
Providing professional development, curriculum, and activities for early childhood educators
-
Fun activities with parents, family events, and summer camps
