Abstract
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in early childhood can encourage children to explore and observe the world according to their own interests. While there are few early childhood STEM initiatives in Canada, this research shows that educators, Pre-K students, and parents of students view STEM activities in a positive way and find it important in fostering future successes.
