About the STEM Summer Camp at My Baby Steps Academy
My Baby Steps Academy program turns your child’s ordinary summer into a summer of exciting exploration. It nurtures our child’s development by expanding on the STEM curriculum and helping to make connections to the world around them.
My Baby Steps Academy inspires imagination through hands-on activities, field trips and themed events, while balancing individual needs and interests.
All Ages Program
Focus: We stimulate curiosity and develop the learning of even our smallest campers
Activities foster creativity and build on skills your child already knows, while recognizing the need to use their bodies as they explore new skills. Our hands-on activities relate to familiar themes. Teachers use finger plays, songs, movement activities and age-appropriate children’s literature – to enrich the summer camp experience for all ages.
