Kreating a better early learning experience together.

Both programs will collaborate to introduce STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) into the classroom, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills in young learners, while offering education students hands-on experience in applying these concepts.

The partnership emphasizes Positive Education principles, benefiting Kreative Kids by promoting emotional well-being and resilience in children, and providing Sage students with valuable exposure to this holistic teaching philosophy.

Education students will gain practical experience in early childhood settings at Kreative Kids, working with children and learning how to design and implement effective educational strategies based on STEAM and Positive Education.

Faculty and students from Russell Sage College and Kreative Kids will work together to create forward-thinking, balanced curricula that integrate STEAM with emotional and social learning, enhancing the quality of education offered.

Sage College students and faculty will engage in research that explores the effects of combining STEAM and Positive Education, while Kreative Kids staff will access new professional development opportunities and mentorship roles.

Kreative Kids will see an elevated educational experience for their students, as the partnership will introduce new teaching methods, resources, and tools that foster both academic success and personal growth.
