Imagine. Plan. Make it!
The Makerspace provides a new home for UMPS to take their STEAM play-based curriculum to a deeper level by providing a collaborative space for making, learning, exploring and sharing. The Makerspace presents children aged 3-5 years old with design challenges. Through tinkering (using stuff), making (using stuff to make stuff), and engineering (using stuff to make stuff that does stuff), children are engaged in the same creative processes and actions that engineers and scientists use.
The first preschool in New Canaan to receive accreditation through NAEYC, (The National Association for the Education of Young Children,) UMPS’s innovative STEAM-based curriculum successfully prepares children to thrive in kindergarten and beyond.
