Professional Development Division
Since 1972, The Children's Center at Caltech (CCC) has been offering high quality child care and education for children ages six month to six years. In 2000, our research lead us to adopt STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) curricula as a focus of our early childhood program. As leaders in STEM Early Childhood education, we launched ECSTEM in 2011, and host an annual conference bringing together educators, policy makers, researchers and other vested community stakeholders to address the needs of our youngest citizens.
Due to the overwhelming demand for tours of our facilities, and requests for professional growth workshops, we have formed a Professional Development Division (PDD) that arranges tours, on-site visits and workshops at the CCC.
Spring Workshops at The Children's Center at Caltech
Join us as we discuss how to make science, technology, engineering, and mathematics available to young children outdoors. Learn more about our Outdoor STEM Lab and how we implement curriculum activities in outdoor environments for children to explore. Whether you have a dedicated space or not, STEM can happen anywhere!

Art and Music are often seen as separate and unrelated to Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Join us to learn how STEM integrates all other content areas seamlessly. Come away with a new perspective on STEM and find out how we can still have the art without the "A" in STEM! Presenter: Susan Wood, Executive Director CLICK HERE |
