Summer is finally here and we’re all excited to lean into the more relaxing parts of this time of year. For our kids, summer break means a mental vacation from school and stepping out of the structure of learning. But did you know that many kids lose the knowledge and skills they learned throughout the school year over summer break?
This is why it’s so important to keep your kids engaged with the skills they learned–like reading, science, and math–all year long. Stemville is the perfect place to beat the heat and keep your kids learning all summer. They will love everything about the fun, interactive space that will light up their imaginations and have their minds working hard, without the structure of a classroom.
