Why is preschool science important?
It’s the perfect time to introduce science to kids, they are naturally curious. They love being outdoors and want to know more about the world around them.
It’s so easy to add science to your everyday routine as you’re taking nature walks, going to the grocery store or baking in the kitchen.
Preschoolers love learning about their own bodies and you can start by teaching them parts of the body.
