Amazing Science!
Our goal is to excite children's curiosity about the vast world of science, then satisfy it through hands-on projects and experiements! We teach critical thinking and integrated learning, as they are the basics of scientific thought and theory. There's so much to explore: physics, chemistry, biology, paleontology and on...All experiments are kid safe and fully supervised.
