Steam Engines Learning Co.

S.T.E.A.M. based art classes for 2.5 to 5-year-olds

South Philadelphia and Center City

Steam Engines Learning Company teaches engaging, evidence-backed S.T.E.A.M.-based art classes, so you can feel confident in your little one’s future. These classes require guardian attendance and participation which helps strengthen the bonds between children and their grown-ups. Some classes might need a grown-up’s suggestion or extra hands to work on their child’s project, while others might just need you to watch and encourage your child’s creativity!

“We have been following Ms. Erica to different locations because she provides a unique and very valuable art & science based lesson and the young children love it- great method to get parents & their kids working together in a fun & supportive environment. Teacher Erica comes well prepared so that the lessons flow nicely. Highly recommended by Cormac & Gigi”

  • Symmetry is shown in this project, because each half of the egg has the same amount of each colored triangle
  • Three rows of mountains on yellow construction paper. The top/ back row is light blue, the middle row is brighter blue, and the closest/ front row is the brightest shade of blue. The mountaintops have felt triangles to represent snow.
    This mountain craft was a great way to practice comparative language such as lighter, lightest, darker, darkest, farther and closer. This helps children learn to think like a scientist when they observe the world around them.
  • Torn pieces of brown paper make up a volcano shape. Red paint is dripped and splattered around the page to represent lava. Torn bits of cotton look like smoke billowing from the volcano.
