More details to come !!! 

Children are curious. It is a vital part of who they are as developing humans. At Zion Preschool, a class for 4 and 5 year olds channels students’ innate curiosity toward the discovery of things about the world around them. And, best of all, they’re learning that this amazing world was designed and created by their Lord and Savior! 

I teach this class -- called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) -- three days a week, for several sessions each day. I’ve been a Zion preschool teacher and church member for more than 30 years, and I’ve also been an avid STEM explorer myself from childhood. So, when I was considering retirement in 2019, God gave me an idea that would reduce my hours in the classroom and allow me to focus on a subject I love.
