While the information and activities in this training can be used to offer separate STEAM programs, the approach in this course is that these concepts are on-going in all we do, including our storytimes. By becoming aware of these connections using books and other activities, we also help storytime participants, children and adults, understand and build on these concepts throughout the day.

How do these science and math concepts support STEAM education? How do they support early literacy? How can our traditional storytimes support these concepts? And . . . how can we help adults incorporate them into daily conversations and experiences with their young children? Gain an understanding of cognitive, scientific and mathematical thinking from newborn to age five and build on traditional storytimes to explore strategies and techniques to support the STEAM concepts and early literacy.
