Mission Statement

The Center for Science Teaching and Learning or CSTL, is situated within Tanglewood Preserve--a nature preserve in Rockville Centre, NY. Our mission is simple: to encourage science learning and literacy in everyone, children as well as adults. CSTL is a 501(C3) nonprofit organization that is operated by a passionate, intelligent, and highly qualified staff that includes scientists, certified teachers, former school administrators, and skilled artists and craftsman. These professionals are dedicated to incorporating each of the three basic core sciences--biology, chemistry, and physics--into an experience in a way that engages people, making learning a real adventure.

We have educational programs from toddlers to 12 year. We have field trips of students that come to us from different schools and organizations.
