Through replicating the environmental science program in other communities, The Learning Exchange hopes to expose tens of thousands of young children, teachers and parent volunteers to the excitement of discovering how our earth works.
Children learn best through hands-on experiences that relate to their lives.
Learning must meet the developmental needs and capabilities of children. Learning and self-esteem grow through trial and error. When given an active role in the learning process, children respond with energy and enthusiasm. Children build knowledge and skills through collaboration and cooperation. Curriculum should meet and exceed standards set by the both the state and the nation.
