Helping Massachusetts Nursery & Preschools teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
CCNS, Inc., believes that all children deserve a learning environment that supports development in all areas including Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM). The earlier children are exposed to and understand the basics of STEM the better prepared they will be for these topics in elementary school and beyond. We aim to provide necessary financial assistance to preschool educational centers that will enable them to deliver quality educational experiences to better prepare children for their future endeavors.
