Because science isn’t just for big kids!
At Mini Professors, we believe the spark of curiosity starts long before school uniforms and textbooks. It begins with the wide-eyed wonder of a preschooler seeing bubbles rise, colours change, and a volcano erupt in class — and asking one simple question: “Why?”
Why Science for Pre-Schoolers Matters
You might wonder if children under five are really ready for science. The answer is a resounding yes! Research shows that the early years are a golden window for brain development. Young children are natural scientists: they observe, experiment, and explore every day.
But here’s the thing — the way we teach science to preschoolers must be different. It needs to be playful, visual, interactive, and full of joy. That’s exactly what we do.
Turning Wow Moments Into Real Learning
Our Mini Professors classes are carefully designed to combine fun, hands-on activities with real scientific concepts. Each session is a mini adventure, with children donning their own lab coats and diving into the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
✨ From mixing magical potions to watching fizzy eruptions
🌈 Exploring colours, light, magnets, and the senses
🧠 Asking big questions and using real vocabulary like “reaction”, “absorb”, and “gravity”
We don’t shy away from using the right words — we explain them simply, and preschoolers love using “grown-up” terms. It boosts their confidence and makes them feel like real scientists!
Making Science Relevant to Everyday Life
The best part? Everything we do links back to the world they already know:
-
Learning about air pressure by blowing up balloons
-
Discovering absorption with kitchen sponges
-
Understanding solids and liquids with melting chocolate
These connections help children understand their environment and develop important early learning skills like prediction, observation, and problem-solving.
A Parent-Approved Experience
Parents often tell us they’re amazed at how much their child remembers after class. It’s not uncommon to hear 3-year-olds proudly explaining what a molecule is or why baking soda and vinegar fizz. But beyond facts, our sessions build:
✅ Confidence
✅ Communication
✅ Curiosity
All while laying the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
Why Schools and Nurseries Love Us Too
Our science classes align beautifully with EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) goals and support cross-curricular learning. They encourage:
Whether you’re a nursery manager or a reception teacher, Mini Professors brings added value to your provision — and big smiles to little faces.
