Hands-On, Whole Brain Learning in Richmond.

At Discovery Center at Stony Point™, STEAM isn’t worksheets or lectures — it’s discovery in motion. Our labs and camps bring science, technology, engineering, art, and math to life through hands-on projects that spark creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Every program is grounded in Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences and Whole Brain Teaching, so whether your child learns best by building, experimenting, storytelling, coding, or collaborating — they’ll find their place here.

Our Approach

Our approach appeals to multiple intelligences, offering activities that integrate visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learning styles. We implement early childhood methodologies to ensure young learners build a strong foundation while also creating a welcoming space for neurodivergent students.

With a focus on problem-solving and creativity, we incorporate cutting-edge technology and a growth mindset, encouraging children to embrace challenges and see mistakes as opportunities for learning and growth.

Our goal is to empower students to explore and thrive in the interconnected worlds of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics.

“My child learned a lot and enjoyed in this program! She also learned the benefits of losing. Coach Rhonda is very thoughtful and considerate. She gives her best effort and time in mentoring her class. She’s a kid at heart and she tries to make sure there’s no student left behind.”

Outstanding! Coach Rhonda is an excellent teacher who is truly able to engage and excite budding chess players…. So patient, so caring - her creative approach and obvious love of the game is sure to bolster the interest of young chess players of any level of skill. Could not recommend more!
