Do you want your child to LOVE science? Well, so do we!
At The Tiny Scientist we know exactly what it’s like to want to explore bugs, build rockets and ask millions of questions - all at the same time! Our mission is to bring out the inner scientist inherent in every child. During our hands-on AND minds-on classes, children will develop an understanding of scientific principles, build vocabulary, work together with other scientists and engage in scientific discussion. Your tiny scientists will laugh, learn, question, explore, get messy and foster a lifelong love of learning by experiencing first-hand that science is FUN!
Julie G: Founder/Main Brain
After almost a decade of teaching science in NYC schools, Julie realized she needed more creative freedom to help children appreciate the world around them—and the space to make MUCH bigger messes! Julie has daydreams of being called up for the next NASA mission and works on a Horticulture Certification at the BBG when she finds time. A Brooklyn native and mother of two young scientists, Julie G. is a licensed, state-certified teacher with a B.S in Biology, a B.A. in Education, and an MA in Math and Science Elementary Education. Julie has current infant, child, and adult CPR, AED & First Aid certification.
Mr. Bigs and his family are known as Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches. In the wild they tend to live in the forest and other moist tropical regions. Living with us at The Tiny Scientist you will see them huddled seeking heat and dark places on these cold winter months. Males are distinguishable from females due to the large bumps, or 'horns' behind their head. They also have fuzzy antennae and spiky legs. The majority of their diet consists of rotting fruit, cat food, and meat.
