Our mission and values

Our mission and values

At Little Scholars Playground, we believe curiosity should be encouraged. Through hands-on experiments, challenges and creative activities, we help children explore science, technology, engineering, art and maths beyond the classroom. Helping to build confidence, curiosity and a love of learning along the way for primary school aged children.

Denhue and Natalie have a combined 20 years’ experience working in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) industry. Denhue has a Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering and Natalie has a Master’s degree in web design and content planning. We want to encourage parents to embrace STEM for their children early on. An industry which creates the inventors, innovators and leaders of tomorrow. Learning STEM doesn’t have to break the bank, therefore we also want to ensure our products are accessible to all.
