So, how do you know you’ve chosen the right path for your son or daughter’s success? Every child is unique, and finding the right early education solution isn’t easy. You know your child best. Is she comfortable with new situations, or cautious around strangers? Does he enjoy activities for large groups, or does he prefer smaller group settings that are less overwhelming? Is she always on the go, or does she enjoy playing quietly? Envisioning your child in different care settings can help you determine the right fit for your family.

Positive strides have been made since 1995 to advance science literacy in the United States, but teachers and parents agree that more hands-on, experiential learning must be adopted in order to improve science education for future generations, according to the results of the 2015 Bayer Facts of Science Education Survey released today.
For 20 years, Bayer has issued the survey, which assesses science education in the United States and evaluates its development. Although positive strides have been made, survey results emphasize the critical need to improve science education and literacy for future generations. Teachers, for example, universally agree (99 percent) that more hands-on experiential learning in general would benefit student learning.
In response, Bayer is announcing a five-year commitment to provide 1 million hands-on science learning experiences for children by 2020, timed to the 20th anniversary of the Making Science Make Sense® program, Bayer’s company-wide initiative that advances science literacy across the United States.
