General Medicine with focus on the importance of health and Hygiene.

Little Medical School brings medicine, science, and the importance of health to children in an entertaining, exciting, and fun way. Through hands-on activities, roleplay, and interactive curriculum, children lean how the body works and how to use real doctor’s tools. Little Medical School believes a curriculum based on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) will provide students with a strong foundation to pursue careers in medicine. Whether utilizing Science to understand anatomy, Technology to better utilize patient information, Engineering to develop solutions to complex medical issues, Art to develop critical thinking skills, or Math to calculate the proper dose of medication, Health and STEAM are inseparable. Students will explore the importance of taking care of the whole body, through fitness, nutrition, dental, and proper healthcare. 

At Little Medical School, students will assume the role of a doctor and learn how the body and organs work, how to use medical instruments, administer first aid, tie knots like a real surgeon, and so much more! All programs are written by experienced educators, board-certified physicians and trained healthcare professionals. Our classes are led by trained Little Medical School instructors.
