Jericho STEM Academy
We inspire a love of learning and discovery
As STEM pre-school educators, we will expand the children’s learning and lead them towards discovery by fostering their intrinsic curiosity and power of imagination. Our goal is to create confident and creative problem solvers. We surround children with language and print in order to understand and interpret what is on the written page. Our teachers choose award winning authors and illustrators and classic children’s books.
Early exposure to STEM helps create critical thinking and reasoning skills. The students will explore concrete objects by their attributes using their inquiry skills by recording observations with their drawings and make conclusions based on their observations. Our goal is to expand your child’s love of science and math.
Let our story come to life when you visit our beautiful school. We invite you and your child to meet our dedicated staff.
