They learn best by using materials, talking with teachers and friends, and experimenting and exploring where their interests take them. Children learn basic skills and concepts better and to greater depth through meaningful projects and real life experiences. They learn best when their physical, emotional, and social needs are met. They learn best when their families are involved in their education. Therefore we encourage parent participation on many levels at Six to Six.
Children learn at different rates and in different ways.
They can all succeed, to their ultimate potential, whatever that may be. The best preparation we can give children for their future is the ability to get along with others, including those of other races, cultures, or socio-economic backgrounds. Six to Six has adopted some strands of the Bank Street approach to learning. They include social studies as the core to the curriculum, developmentally appropriate curriculum, child development and learning as an active view of the child through respect and community building, and a social consciousness regarding education. The school is located in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
