Our Story & Mission

At STEMtastic Kids, we create playful, hands-on learning experiences that help young children explore the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math. Through building, creating, asking questions, and discovering, children can grow their curiosity, confidence, and early problem-solving skills in a fun, encouraging space.

STEMtastic Kids was founded by Amber and Ashley, who share more than 17 years of early childhood education experience and a passion for making learning meaningful, accessible, and fun. With certifications in Infant/Toddler, 90-Hour Preschool, and School-Age education, they bring creativity, care, and an understanding of child development to every workshop, program, and event.

In front of her is a colorful plastic tower she built with stacking pieces. The table is covered with various toy parts, and in the background, other children and classroom decorations are visible.

Our Founders

Amber

Co-Founder

Amber finds joy in encouraging children’s growth, creativity, and confidence. She understands that every child sees the world in their own way and brings a unique perspective to learning. As a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), Amber also recognizes the value of social interaction and helps create experiences that support children’s social-emotional development alongside hands-on discovery.

Ashley

Co-Founder

Ashley believes learning should be fun, engaging, and full of discovery. Her passion for STEM education began when her oldest daughter participated in a STEM program and experienced the excitement of learning through exploration. Inspired by STEM’s ability to spark curiosity in young minds, Ashley is committed to creating meaningful experiences that help children build, imagine, and discover what they can do.
