Science-based learning opportunities are everywhere! Whether during sensory play, while caring for an outdoor garden, or while painting, you can intentionally set up hands-on experiences that provide children with opportunities to explore scientific phenomena. These meaningful moments provide a strong foundation for children's scientific learning now and in the years to come.

Join us for the PTKLF Science overview designed to enhance science learning in your classrooms and learning environments. You'll discover practical strategies and connect with fellow educators who share your passion for nurturing young scientists. Particpants who attend the PTKLF Science Overview will be eligible to join the follow-up Community of Practice.
