Enrichment activities:
We believe that everyday experiences offer rich learning opportunities for young children and that each child is an active participant in his/her own learning. Honoring each child’s style of learning, our curriculum is emergent and develops through an organic process of investigation and inquiry. Our work with children and families is inspired by The Reggio Approach, a progressive approach to teaching and learning which centers around the following key principles:
Image Of The Child: We view children as co-constructors of their own learning, capable of developing their own theories and contributing to the shared knowledge of a school community.
The 100 Languages: As children learn, materials become languages of expression. We offer a rich variety of material and expose children to creative techniques that give life to their theories and ideas.
Project Work: Through long and short term projects, children become invested in their interests and learn how to work together for a common goal.
Role of The Environment: The school environment serves as a “third teacher”, engaging children’s interests, inspiring learning, and supporting autonomy.
Problem Solving: It is developmentally appropriate for children to encounter problems and conflicts as they learn how to navigate socially and emotionally. These challenges invite opportunities for growth and learning. Problem solving strengthens children’s sense of self and facilitates positive peer relationships.
