Why Childcares Love Our STEM Enrichment Programs (Especially Slime Lab!)

Science, Smiles & Slime: The Ultimate Childcare Enrichment Experience

If you're a childcare director or educator looking to bring hands-on, hassle-free STEM enrichment to your centre, you're in the right place.

At Busy Minds Education®, we believe science should be fun, a little messy, and filled with "wow" moments—especially for curious little learners. That’s why our mobile STEM programs are designed specifically for childcares and early learning centres across Canada.

And our #1 most requested workshop? Slime Lab.(Trust us: the kids go bananas for it.)

What is the Slime Lab?

Our Slime Lab is a 45–60-minute sensory science adventure where children explore the magic of chemistry—without even realizing they’re learning! With age-appropriate instructions and materials, each child gets to:

🧪 Mix safe, non-toxic ingredients

🎨 Add colours, textures, and even glitter

👩‍🔬 Learn basic science concepts like states of matter, reactions & measuring

🎉 Take home their very own slime creation

It’s the perfect blend of STEM education and sensory play—and yes, we handle everything (setup, supplies, cleanup… even the mess!).

Why STEM for Childcares?

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) might sound advanced for toddlers and preschoolers, but early exposure to STEM concepts has been proven to:

✅ Boost curiosity and confidence

✅ Encourage critical thinking and problem-solving

✅ Build fine motor skills and coordination

✅ Inspire a lifelong love of learning

Our childcare enrichment programs are designed to be play-based and developmentally appropriate, ensuring that young children engage with real concepts in a way that’s simple, safe, and exciting.
