Children are born with an innate desire to explore, form hypotheses, experiment, observe, and develop conclusions. Research and data prove that children’s learning through their senses has a strong connection to thinking and understanding in science and discovery. A few decades ago, the idea that toddlers think like scientists would have been considered preposterous.

But it has been proved wrong by scientific evidence which shows children are competent, coherent, structured, and intentional in their approach.
