In Carefreeville, every question can lead to a big discovery! Young children are natural explorers — full of questions about how things work and why things happen. Moments like these are perfect for sparking creativity, problem-solving, and hands-on learning.

Turn Curiosity Into Action

When a child asks a question, encourage them to think, wonder, and explore with you.

• Answer with a question: If they ask, “How do plants grow?” try responding with, “What do you think they need to grow?” or “How could we find out together?”
• Spark imagination: If they wonder, “Why do ants walk in a line?” ask, “What do you think would happen if they didn’t? How could we watch them to learn more?”
• Encourage drawing, building, and pretend play: Creative play can help children explore answers in fun and meaningful ways.

Ask Your Own Wonder Questions

Your curiosity can inspire theirs! Try asking questions that start with:

• What could we build or create with this?
• How do you think this works?
• What are three ways we could test this out?
• What might happen if we changed something?
• Can you think of a different way to try this?
