A little about Nehal​​​​​​​
Hello, my name is Nehal Saleh, a mother of 2 curious children who love to explore the outdoors asky why and how questions about the worldaround them! , and founder of Explore Science Club. I founded ESC to help children discover, through fun hands on activities, the wonders and magic of science.
​
As an experienced science educator, I have a passion for making science learning easy and simple for kids and families. Have a look at this website, you will find, in addition to afterschool and early learner licensed childcare programs, ESC offers a range of activities from Science Magic Shows, to Family ESCape Days that bring science into the community in fun innovative ways!
My PhD focused on how sensory input effects learning outcomes. I tested, wrote, and published 6 papers in peer reviewed journals, 4 first authored. My work combined biological assays, chemical identification and software programming. I also worked as Business Development Manager in a publicly listed antibody company.
It has been a pleasure to be included in local municipal recreation, festivals, schools, daycares, and children organizations in Langley, Surrey and around the lower mainland. ESC events have also been featured in local newspapers.
In my free time Nehal enjoys hanging out with her family, observing nature, and walking.
