FOCUS ON SCIENCE: ENRICHING OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES, ONE EXPERIMENT AT A TIME ...

Did you know what the States of Matter were at age 6?

Did you know what a solute, solvent, solution and precipitate were at age 10?

Could you explain basic physics at age 7?

Our kids do and our kids can.

We are proud to announce that Josselyn Pacheco will serve as our lead science teacher for all TK-5 students starting in the Spring of 2024.
