La Sonja Jordan Henderson<\/span>\u00a0owns and operates two high quality early childhood learning centers both of which are Texas School Ready Certified, meaning children who come through her program are ready for kinder. The schools offer childcare that works for the entrepreneur parent, parent in need of second income, student-parent, or couples who want a date night. Countless individuals have been able to grow their businesses and also further their education, due to the flexibility of this service. She currently has partnerships with two of the largest back up childcare providers and offers childcare solutions for corporate partners like Methodist, Texas Children\u2019s Hospital, Memorial Hospital, Home Depot, Chase Bank, Shell, employees.<\/span><\/p>

She was honored as a Living Legend in Education on October 2019. She has been recognized by her peers as Top Medical and Wellness Professional, 2016. LJ understands the impact that education has on the future workforce. Because today\u2019s preschoolers are tomorrow\u2019s workforce she is currently advocating for more high quality preschool programs to prevent the preschool to prison pipeline. Since brain development reaches its\u2019 capacity by age 3 children who do not receive quality education have a negative impact on the workforce of the future. When not working in the early childhood centers Lj spends her time working with non \u2013 profit organizations, event planning, and mentoring. Most recently she completed a book and launch a mentoring program for individuals who want to learn how to own and open.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Studies show that a child\u2019s development is at 90% by age 5 as well, early childhood education is the key to the betterment of our society.\u00a0 STEM involves introducing them to new concepts and games.

Children are curious little beings that have the burning desire to explore all their surroundings, make discoveries and try new things out as a way of learning.<\/p>

Creating environments that not only ignites curiosity but creativity, gives them an advantage to solving problems while applying critical thinking.\u00a0 According to Arizona State University, a child\u2019s brain develops more rapidly by age 5 than any other time in a child\u2019s life.\u00a0 Therefore, little STEM Academy\u2019s creative makerspace and STEM exploration is the incubator for greatness ready to be birthed and launched!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
