Training Description

This hands-on training is one in a five-part STEAM series for early learning educators. It can be completed as part of the series or as a standalone option. Participants will explore five sensory-based science activities that build inquiry skills, connect vocabulary and questioning strategies to learning, and integrate early literacy through developmentally appropriate books and reflective dialogue. The training draws from targeted classroom activities and uses DRDP and NAEYC reflection to align with best practices in early childhood education.

Two Missouri clock hours will be given. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required. Registration closes Feb. 6, 2026.
