Our Approach

At Hands-On! we provide a multitude of materials and experiences in order for your child to follow their curiosity wherever it leads.  In our warm and inviting space, and in collaboration with our staff and/or a parent or guardian we will help facilitate the process of scientific inquiry and will provide powerful learning experiences that will inspire deeper investigations. Whether it is learning about our world through art and engineering or science and technology  the opportunity exists at Hands-On!

We are a kids STEAM lab

offering hands-on science, technology, engineering, art and math activities.

We are a makerspace

a collaborative learning environment providing kids with the opportunity to pursue their innate curiosities.

We are educators

facilitating powerful learning experiences that inspire deep investigations and that will lead to creativity, invention and discovery.

Developmentally, young children learn and understand best from what they can see, touch, feel, and manipulate and a makerspace is made up of those exact opportunities. - Tracy Hollander, Owner/Director/Credentialed Teacher
