Signature STEAM™ Programming
we believe education should nurture the whole child, which is why we offer additional programs during the school day that go far beyond what preschools and even many traditional schools provide.
From hands-on STEAM explorations to music, art, cooking, gardening, and more, these enrichment opportunities spark creativity, inspire curiosity, and provide balance to each day. This well-rounded approach sets StarCreek apart, offering not just care or academics, but a comprehensive education that supports growth in every area of life.
Our students learn the wonders of science in a hands-on specialized science laboratory. We emphasize the process and methods of science as well as the end result. Students conduct their own experiments in a supervised environment. The science lab encourages a greater appreciation and understanding of science.
Science Experimentation
Music instruction in our dedicated music room is a key part of the daily curriculum. Students build musical literacy through listening, singing, composing, and performing, gaining confidence through regular stage performances. We use specially designed Montessori bells and tone bars, children develop skills step-by-step—from auditory discrimination to musical notation—enhancing rhythm, coordination, and harmony.
Music Instruction
Gardening is an outdoor and indoor daily activity that encourages curiosity in children to discover and explore the world of botany. Our school has an outdoor, organic garden, in which our students grow a variety of flora and fauna including vegetables that children use in creative cooking projects. Children are introduced to topics such as trees and leaves, seeds and flowers.
Outdoor Gardening
Computer classes in our multimedia lab are available to all primary and elementary students, beginning with basic keyboarding and mouse skills and progressing to broader technology use. These lessons are designed to build computer literacy that complements and enhances the Montessori curriculum. Internet use in the classroom and computer lab is thoughtfully introduced based on the child’s skill level, project needs, and social maturity.
Computer Instruction
Our specially-designed learning kitchen allows students to have truly hands-on experience. Here they continue the learning that begins in the garden. Cooking encompasses a wide range of skills and concepts – math, physics, chemistry, tactile and sensory stimulation, and many more – and cooking can lead children of all ages to be more adventurous and nutritious eaters.
Cooking
Our hands-on Fine Arts program focuses on the creative process rather than the final product and is integrated with classroom learning. Children explore various media—like painting, collage, and printmaking—while learning to use materials with care, express creativity, and most importantly, having fun! They also discover famous artists and their work through our drama and art appreciation program.
