& engineering

We are committed to providing your child with a safe, educational, and curiously fun experience.
Creating, building, testing. Maybe it’s launching a rocket, designing a bridge or flinging coconuts at a mock castle wall with a team-built catapult — well, you get the idea!
At Edge on Science, kids do the doing. And the best part? They discover that they are capable of far more than they imagine!
