Children go through sequential stages in each area of development with one level forming the foundation for the next. These abilities also need to be integrated with many opportunities to practice these new skills in a variety of situations with various peers and adults. A child's optimal cognitive and emotional growth is based on secure attachments and relationships developed in the first years of life. Social interactions with responsive adults and other children are of prime importance. Learning is a dynamic process in which children construct their own knowledge through play and active exploration of and with the environment, both physically and socially.
Children are active and eager learners.
This program provides a challenging environment with supportive teachers who understand and facilitate the learning process. A child-centered curriculum is built upon observing and understanding each child's individual skill and interest level. By using our teachers' creativeness, a broad range of related experiences for children are planned. Each child is unique with an individual pattern and pace of growth, personality, learning style and family background. Both the curriculum and adult interactions with the child are responsive to these individual differences.
