Preschool STEAM and Executive Functioning

STEAM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Creativity and Math education.

We focus on these areas together not only because the skills and knowledge in each discipline are essential for student success, but also because these fields are deeply intertwined in the real world and in how students learn most effectively.

STEAM is an interdisciplinary and applied approach that is coupled with hands-on, problem-based learning. (Check out all the STEAM offerings this season.)

Children not enrolled in Lake Bluff Preschool must provide an updated vaccination report to participate in enrichment programs.

Movers and Shakers

It is a playdate with purpose! Children will have fun with Mrs. G and friends while participating in a variety of board games and physical fitness games. Playing games together provides kids opportunities for working on social skills, direction following, memory, sustained attention, self-control, and fine and gross motor physical skills. Do not forget to bring a nut-free lunch!
