Little Einstein's Junior Science Programme
For children
4 to 6 year olds
Objectives
Little Einsteins – Junior Science Programme, builds on the science experiences that draw on children’s interests, letting children discover science concepts for themselves as they explore and learn. Early first-hand experiences with concrete materials and activities provide children with a strong foundation for later understanding of abstract science concepts. The science experiences designed do more than just stimulating cognitive learning. Other areas of the child’s development such as physical, social and creativity will also be enhanced.
