PrimeTime Fun & Learning Academy in Augusta, GA takes this concept further by blending hands-on STEM education with play-based learning in an intentionally small setting of just 20 students.

Every lesson is custom-built around how children actually learn: through curiosity, discovery, and joyful exploration.
