This list of books are in collaboration with Little House Of Science.
Little House of Science was founded by three ladies in London, two of them are mums, (Veronika Covington- mum, Liliana Crachilova – mum and Elisabeth Keck – multiple godmother), who saw the ever growing demand from children wanting to learn more about how the world works!
Children who love science and are inspired by it. This led to the birth of Little house of Science. All three partners take a great interest in the science community and share a passion for the sciences. The mummies wanted their own children (1 boy and three girls between them) to explore and find answers to the questions about their world around them…such as how plants breathe, the universe, its galaxies and stars to name a few. The partners therefore felt it would be great to have a safe and fun environment for kids to learn about science and all the questions around it. An environment which is active, full of project based learning, hands-on and stimulating.
Our guiding principle is to ensure the kids go away with inspiration and enthusiasm about learning and wanting to know more about nature and the supportive facts. We would like to think of ourselves as creating or fostering the spark for the next generation of scientists, but the main aim is to provide a foundation for youngsters where after each session, they will have gone home knowing a little bit more about our wonderful world and how things work. Do ask us to join a free trial class or our sibling discounts.
