Lancaster Recreation Commission has partnered with STEM Starts Now to provide the program to all of the Commission's early childhood education programs. The goal of the program is to help teachers and parents to teach early science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts to young children so children will be equipped with all the necessary skills to be successful in school.
STEM Starts Now is a digital parent subscription program created by local pediatric occupational therapist Dr. Aimee Ketchum. Written by a team of early child developmental experts, STEM Starts Now helps babies by supporting parents first through weekly emails tailored to their child's age and developmental level. The emails include tips, STEM activities, videos, articles, and information on physical, social-emotional, language, and intellectual development to help children master the skills necessary for success in kindergarten, future academics and leadership roles in today's global world.
STEM Starts Now is suitable for all children under the age of 5, and it is in use around the world. Parents and caregivers of children from newborns to those age 5 who participate in the early childhood education programs at the Lancaster Recreation Commission may subscribe for free.
