A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO STEM EDUCATION
STEM education best practice
STEM represents the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics that are growing in demand due to an increased need for these skills in current and future jobs
However, STEM education is not limited to only building knowledge in these fields. Oz Education’s inquiry-based, hands-on approach to STEM learning also promotes critical thinking, analysis, and many more future-ready skills.
Our STEM program is a collaborative process that encourages children to raise questions and explore their interests.

INVESTING IN FUTURE READY SKILLS
Unlock your child’s potential with STEM education
STEM education in early childhood enables children to use their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to try to understand how the world works and to solve problems.
In addition, our program nurtures skills that extend beyond those needed to be successful in STEM fields with lasting benefits. It:
- cultivates creativity and out-of-the-box thinking
- lays the foundation for social and emotional intelligence
- raises children’s confidence
- fosters children’s abilities to plan, reflect and learn
- prepares them for academic success
From an early age, our early learners strengthen their practices of collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
These skills help our early learners to go beyond the traditional preschool skills with huge benefits toward their disposition for learning for school and beyond.
Best practices inquiry-based STEM education.
At Oz Education, our educators participate in both online and in-person professional development workshops focused on a diverse range of engaging, pedagogy-driven STEM topics.
These STEM education workshops are meticulously aligned with the National Quality Framework and the Early Years Learning Framework V2.0, and they are accredited by NESA.
