The Garrison Center is a federally licensed and accredited preschool available to students and faculty with children.
According to Laura Cameron, teacher supervisor at the Garrison Center, teachers tailor the curriculum to each child’s needs, based on where they need more attention, or where they demonstrate ability or interest.
Part of the curriculum incorporates a program called “Seeds of Stem” which consists of two week-long studies, according to Cameron. The first week is called “Science Week” when children are taught concepts such as “sink or float.” The next week is called “Problem Week” where they are presented with a problem and need to use what they learned in science week to solve the problem.
