Science preschool based on a research-based curriculum utilizing the engineering design process with a specific framework to guide the development of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in early childhood. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate for cognitive and language development while remaining culturally responsive to reflect the diversity of gender, ethnic background, and physical abilities while allowing access and emphasizing children’s own culture. The engineering design process is followed to engage children in open-ended, multiple solutions problem-solving tasks that require defining the problem, brainstorming, researching, creating, testing, improving, and communicating. Daily lessons connect STEM knowledge and skills with standards from early literacy, art, social-emotional, and physical education. We currently do not have a GAPreK program.
