Tiny Scientist: Bringing Everyday STEM to Infant & Toddler Classrooms

Infants and toddlers are natural scientists—touching, banging, dropping, watching, and discovering how the world works. This beginner-friendly training helps early childhood educators recognize and intentionally support the STEM learning already happening in daily routines and play. Participants will explore simple, developmentally appropriate ways to embed science, technology, engineering, and math into caregiving moments using the GELDS. With hands-on demonstrations, practical strategies, and ready-to-use materials, this session empowers teachers to confidently spark curiosity, problem-solving, and early thinking skills in even the youngest learners. Perfect for infant and toddler teachers who want to elevate everyday moments into meaningful STEM experiences.
