¿Cómo funciona? Let’s Discover Together.
Children are naturally curious. They ask questions, explore new ideas, and want to understand how the world works. At Edina Daycare, STEM learning helps children turn that curiosity into discovery. Through hands-on experiences in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, children investigate, create, build, experiment, and solve problems in ways that are engaging, meaningful, and fun.
Rather than memorizing facts, children learn by doing, encouraging confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Zoo Animals & Dinosaurs
This month, children are investigating animal habitats, ecosystems, and prehistoric life through hands-on STEM experiences.
Current explorations include:
Hands-On Projects
These experiences encourage observation, problem-solving, critical thinking, and scientific discovery.
At Edina Daycare, STEM learning begins with curiosity. Through hands-on activities, open-ended exploration, and purposeful play, children discover how science, technology, engineering, and math are part of the world around them. Whether they’re building structures, experimenting with water, observing nature, or solving everyday challenges, children develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in a fun, age-appropriate environment.
See how our STEM experiences grow with your child at every stage of early learning.
Children investigate the world around them through observation, experimentation, nature studies, animal exploration, and simple scientific discoveries that encourage curiosity and questioning.

Children design, build, test, and improve structures using blocks, loose parts, natural materials, and hands-on building activities that encourage creativity and problem-solving.
Children develop foundational math skills through counting, sorting, measuring, comparing, pattern recognition, and everyday exploration that makes learning meaningful and engaging.
STEM learning helps children develop skills that support success both in school and throughout life.
Through exploration, experimentation, and discovery, children build:
Most importantly, children learn that asking questions, making discoveries, and trying new things are an important part of learning.
One of the unique aspects of Edina Daycare is that children explore STEM concepts while being immersed in Spanish language experiences.
As children investigate animal habitats, build structures, conduct experiments, and solve problems, they are also developing Spanish vocabulary and communication skills through meaningful, real-world experiences.
This integrated approach helps children build both language skills and critical thinking skills while making learning engaging and memorable.
What is STEM learning?
STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. In early childhood education, STEM learning focuses on hands-on exploration, discovery, problem-solving, and creative thinking.
Is STEM appropriate for preschool-aged children?
Yes. Young children are naturally curious and learn best through play, experimentation, and exploration. STEM preschool experiences help build confidence, critical thinking skills, and a love of learning from an early age.
What STEM activities do preschoolers do?
Children participate in activities such as building structures, exploring nature, investigating animal habitats, measuring and sorting objects, conducting simple experiments, and solving real-world problems through hands-on play.
Children learn Spanish best through meaningful experiences. Our immersion program blends conversation, discovery, and hands-on learning to bring language to life.
Children discover countries, traditions, languages, and celebrations from around the world, helping them build curiosity, empathy, and a broader understanding of different cultures.
From building structures and investigating animal habitats to exploring science and solving problems together, STEM learning helps children develop the skills and confidence to thrive.
