About the Program: 
At Classroom Helper, we believe in fostering a love for learning. We hope to help children identify their interests and passions. We provide play-based learning to help spark interests in topics, particularly in the STEM field. We focus on real-world applications to the current educational standards. We demonstrate and teach kindness, compassion, tenacity, among many other attributes for good citizenship. We’re aligned with state of Washington standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics. We focus on STEM-based learning activities and encourage students to identify their topics of interest within those categories. With patience, love, and kindness, students can discover their strengths and work hard to overcome challenges when learning new material. We want students to embrace failure and become grittier so that challenges along the way are met with tenacity and a can-do attitude. We incorporate gardening and horticulture through STEM-based learning activities. Students are also encouraged to participate in our youth leadership training.
Toilet Independence Requirements: 
Classroom Helper requires that children entering the STEM Days Program are potty trained. The STEM Days Program does not have the staffing to potty train our students. The ratios required for STEM students are higher than a toddler classroom and do not allow for potty training or diapering.

Enrichment activities: 
STEM Days is a wonderful project-based learning approach to teaching focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Students enrolled in Stem Days will complete lesson plans that strengthen math skills such as: number sense, math facts with multiplication and division, and arithmetic review of multiplication, long and short division, fractions, decimals, and percentages. Students will also read and write about non-fiction topics that address historical and STEM-related disciplines. STEM-related lesson topics include, but not limited to, eclipse, paleontology and dinosaurs, bats and cave scientists, coral reefs, animal habitat and its requirements, wilderness and fishing, chemistry, and biology/life science. We expect hands-on learning experiences will help strengthen the overall program goals by allowing students to see first-hand the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics behind how things work.
