Our MMESS Program
We are all about the kids getting messy while playing and learning at Kelowna Kids Co! With this in mind, we developed a variation of a STEM program called MMESS. MMESS incorporates Math, Movement, Engineering, Science, and Social Studies into our play based learning program. We also have daily Art and Physical Activity time too!
1. Value all the questions
​
2. Explore and find the answers together
​
3. Give children time and space to explore
​
4. Accept that explorations are often messy (we accept the challenge!!!)
​
5. Invite curiosity
​
6. Support further exploration
Math
We get to play and learn with:
Patterns
Shapes
Sorting
Counting
Sizes
Measurements
​
Science
Whether mixing potions, growing crystals or playing with our shadows, we love when children are observing, discovering, and experimenting the world around them.
Movement
Moving our bodies is a great way to get the sillies out, get exercise and have fun!! We love dance parties, playing outside, splashing in puddles, and walking like animals!
During Discovery we enjoy our aerobic and yoga classes, professional dance academy too!
Social Connection
We encourage a child’s development of a healthy sense of self, cultural identity, social relationships, and connectedness to the community.
Engineering
We love building things! It's a wonderful way to be creative while using our engineering minds. Whether we are making kites, rockets, forts, or towers, you know we are having a blast!
Creative Arts
The children love doing art everyday! Whether we are mixing around paints, playing with paste, or scribbling up a storm, they are always having fun doing our crafts!
