Exciting News! The fortnightly cycle of Little Scientists programme start today at Lollipops Albany. The Little Scientist brings science to life with our tamariki. It is an exciting point of difference for us and has been adapted to be delivered with an ever changing set of experiments. the programme includes activities that encourage the tamariki to “think like a scientist”👩🔬👨🔬, using all 5 senses to hypothesize (educated guess) and then test to see the results. The programme is tailored to suit pre-school children, weaving all the strands, goals and learning outcomes of Te Whariki into a fun and educational experience where tamariki will discover first hand just how exciting science can be! Come to Join us!
