Josh Denhart is the founder and creator of “KinderChemistry”, a series of educationally entertaining
hands-on experiences filled with explosions, magnets, rockets, colored foam, liquid nitrogen, glow-in-the-dark solutions, and so much more! "KinderChemistry" is a monthly program that partners with Early Education Programs to supplement their current curriculum with high quality, high energy and scientifically sound experiences for early learners.
As former Valley High School chemistry teacher, Josh created “KinderChemistry” out of a personal passion for science learning. Being a kid-at-heart, Josh still loves to "play" with science toys and has a robust and ever-growing collection of high quality science equipment. His collection allows Early Education Programs to experience quality science enrichment without investing in staff or expensive supplies.
Once a month, the "KinderChemistry" students are allowed to explore, investigate and experience science with all of their senses. Wearing a tie-dyed lab coat, "Mr. Josh" has earned celebrity status with these young learners! Using a combination of hands-on experiences and upfront stage production, learners are engaged, inspired and reminded that they too can become scientists. These little "KinderChemists" always seem to ask, "Mr. Josh,
when are you coming back??!?"
