We believe children learn best by being active…through play, figuring things out on their own and from their own experiences. We encourage active learning by providing developmentally appropriate materials, which reflect the interest of the children and in building an important foundation for the future of each child.
We are using The Creative Curriculum in our classrooms. Ours is a playful classroom with focused learning. We learn about our world through playing, singing, creating, reading, acting, cooking and other discovery methods. Teachers intentionally guide children with specific goals in mind for their development and learning. Teachers know when to use a given strategy to accomodate individual children and the content they are learning. We focus on the active manipulation of “hands-on” materials for learning. Social skills, problem-solving and creativity are valued over rote learning, worksheets, or standardized end products.
