RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- "[My child] has really enjoyed STEM class. Thanks so much for offering the kids such a great learning experience," says a parent whose child has joined multiple STEM enrichment programs at Follow the Child Montessori School.

Follow the Child Montessori School (FCM) and STEM For Kids are thrilled to recognize their 10-year collaboration since 2014, wherein the synergy between STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) enrichment and the Montessori method has been fostering an exceptional educational experience for young learners.

Follow the Child Montessori School is a premier Montessori school established in 2001 in Raleigh, NC.

Since the onset of the STEM-Montessori partnership, the topmost priority  for Follow the Child was to provide STEM education enrichment while staying true to the Montessori philosophy of encouraging hands-on exploration, discovery, and growth.

"Our goal when searching for and providing enrichment for our school is to find programs that allow students to explore their interests in fun, hands-on ways," says April Keen, Follow the Child's After School Director. "Parents share this goal and also appreciate the convenience of having programs on-site at Follow the Child Montessori."

Two concurrent after-school programs are provided throughout the school year: STEM For TotsTM for ages 3-6 and Elementary STEM for ages 7-12.  FCM students in STEM For TotsTM learn how to think and build like engineers and build confidence in their critical thinking, team building, and communication skills while having fun with learning. FCM students in Elementary STEM focus on the real-world application of STEM topics while practicing and strengthening their skills of resilience, collaboration, and self-confidence.

STEM For Kids has offered over 3000 children-hours of afterschool STEM instruction at Follow the Child Montessori School.

"STEM For Kids is an amazing program for our students! The lessons are engaging, interactive, and developmentally appropriate. The students are learning complex concepts while having a blast!," added Ms. Keen.

Ms. Keen further commented on the positive impact of the collaboration: "We have enjoyed partnering with STEM For Kids for the last 10 years and look forward to continuing our relationship. Students and parents are both thrilled with the program. [The STEM Coach] is an amazing instructor who knows how to interact with children in a meaningful way."
