PreK through Elementary

At Little Monsters Universe, we spark curiosity and discovery by making learning a fun, hands-on experience kids can explore anywhere. We empower children to become little scientists who observe closely, ask questions, experiment freely, and see the world with fresh eyes; whether they’re learning at home or in the classroom.

Our innovative programs for elementary-aged learners include engaging science units and lessons, nature journals, custom courses, and immersive virtual classes that bring nature and scientific exploration right to your doorstep. We also offer comprehensive homeschool science curricula designed for families seeking a full learning experience, along with flexible lessons and resources that easily integrate into classroom instruction. Every lesson is designed to ignite curiosity, strengthen critical thinking, and build a lifelong love of learning. Shop all lesson plans.
