You’ve probably seen us mention the Member Lab in our posts and emails. Maybe you’ve been curious. Maybe you’ve wondered if it’s really worth it or if it’s just another library of activities you’ll never get around to using.
We get it. There are a lot of “resource libraries” out there. So let’s pull back the curtain and show you what makes the Member Lab different.
It’s Not Just a Collection of Activities
The Member Lab is built around our Preschool STEAM Play Method, a simple framework designed to turn everyday play into intentional STEAM learning. It’s the thread that runs through every lesson, every unit, and every Play Guide inside the Lab. Instead of random activities pulled from different places, everything connects back to a consistent approach that makes STEAM feel natural, not forced.
Each lesson includes step-by-step directions, photographs showing you exactly what it looks like in action, guided STEAM questions, and a downloadable one-page guide you can print and bring to your table, your backyard, or your classroom. Some lessons also include additional challenge cards or printables.
And if you need to show that what you’re teaching aligns with real standards, most of our lessons align with state early learning requirements for preschool and kindergarten. Whether your program follows state guidelines, participates in a quality rating system, or needs documentation for licensing, the Member Lab gives you content you can feel confident using.
700+ Lessons Organized by Theme
Inside the Lab, lessons are grouped into themed units like Ocean STEAM, Insect STEAM, Bubble STEAM, Weather STEAM, and hundreds more. Each unit has multiple lessons, so you can spend a full week (or more) exploring a single topic from every STEAM angle. You pick the theme that fits what your little learners are into right now, and the lessons are ready to go.

Monthly Play Guides That Plan Your Month for You
Every month, members get a new Play Guide that maps out four weeks of themed STEAM activities. That’s 16 lessons already planned for you, complete with book recommendations and video links. You don’t have to search for ideas or piece together a plan. Just open the guide, pick your week, and go.
No searching. No piecing things together from five different websites. Just open and go.
A Community of Educators and Parents Who Get It
We have a Facebook group that also includes a community space where you can share your STEAM successes, ask questions, and connect with other educators and parents who are doing this work. Sometimes the best inspiration comes from seeing how someone else set up an activity or adapted a lesson for their group.
So Who Is the Member Lab For?
It’s for preschool and kindergarten teachers who want STEAM to be part of their daily rhythm without spending hours planning. It’s for daycare providers looking for structured, play-based activities that go beyond arts and crafts. And it’s for parents who want to do more with their little learners at home but don’t know where to start.
Whether you follow the monthly Play Guide week by week or browse by theme based on your little learners’ interests, the Lab gives you flexible, ready-to-use STEAM experiences that are grounded in real learning.
See for Yourself
The best way to know if the Member Lab is right for you is to get inside and explore. You’ll have immediate access to every lesson, a 14-day money back guarantee, every unit, every guide, and the Summer Explorers Play Guide the moment you join.
I’ve been working on something I’m really excited about — a brand new free training called “From Teacher Tired to Teacher Intentional.”
In it, I’ll walk you through a simple 3-step framework for creating hands-on STEAM experiences using materials you already have in your classroom. No screens. Just real, play-based learning that actually keeps your little learners engaged.
I’ll also show you how Q-tips and glue kept a room full of kids focused for 45 minutes straight — and exactly how you can do the same thing in your classroom.
It’s coming soon and I want you to be first to know when it drops. Click here to opt-in.
