Monthly STEAM Class: PLANT SCIENCE FUN Sunday Family Funday at SOUTH SHORE
This class takes place in the Community Room at Avis South Shore JCC.
Spark your child’s curiosity and dive into the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, art, and math! Family STEAM Class at Avis South Shore JCC is a once-a-month, exclusive class that brings a fresh theme to every session, filled with hands-on activities that ignite exploration for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
For babies, the focus is on sensory experiences that engage their developing brains and introduce basic STEAM concepts through materials they can touch, feel, and explore. Toddlers start experimenting with simple cause-and-effect experiments, building motor skills while discovering how things work. Preschoolers dive deeper into creative challenges, where they’ll build, design, and problem-solve with interactive materials that encourage critical thinking, teamwork, and imagination.
Rooted in Family Life Education principles, Family STEAM Class brings families together to actively collaborate on projects, from constructing simple structures to exploring color mixing or experimenting with textures. Each session encourages families to ask questions, explore new ideas, and celebrate their discoveries as a team. By the end of each class, families leave with a sense of accomplishment and a fresh spark of curiosity to keep exploring at home.
