the stem lab is located at our marlborough location

stem lab

In 2017 OFLC Marlborough opened a stunning new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) lab for our preschool-aged children.  It was a revolutionary change from the standard daycare experience.  While most children in daycare/preschool spend a great deal of time in just one classroom, we now ensure the children get out the classroom and in to engaging curriculum spaces that really get children thinking. Our Science Lab offers a whole world for young minds to explore!  It contains numerous biological systems for the children to learn about all sorts of animals.

aquaponics table

Our 10 foot aquaponics table which starts to show children the interconnected nature of species.  Freshwater fish are below the surface of the table producing nitrogenous waste products while up on top plant life filters those wastes from the water and the children can watch all sorts of herbs and vegetables exploding above.  This symbiotic exchange helps instill in children early on the importance of caring for all creatures.

the salt-water touch tank

Our 400 gallon salt-water touch tank with child-safe critters for the children to touch, watch and interact with.  Here they can explore the life of our oceans and start to learn about the water cycle and marine life.
