Infants and toddlers are far from applying for colleges and studying for the SATs, but there are benefits to scientific education.
Early exposure to science can support a lifelong love of learning, discovery, and willingness to try new educational concepts.
Even a simplified approach to the scientific process can benefit infants and toddlers in their attention, memory, problem solving and persistence. These are qualities that will serve children well when they begin preschool or kindergarten and throughout more complicated educational topics.
