Educational Philosophy
-
Curriculum is not just what art project is done, or what product is made; a large part of curriculum is PLAYTIME!
- Activities like crawling, walking, running, throwing, catching, jumping, climbing, and balancing will develop gross motor skills.
- Once gross motor skills are mastered children can gain fine motor skills.
- Activities such as building with blocks, stringing beads, drawing, painting, and placing pegs into holes will help with the development of children’s fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and their sense of direction.
- These are the same skills that are needed for reading, writing, and math!
Educational Approach
- We offer carefully planned and structured curriculum, where children can learn from and be motivated by their teacher and peers; while developing a positive self-esteem, and become an independent, smart, possess good character and responsible individuals.
- We are committed to prepare children for school by teaching them basic academics and keeping them engaged through social activities.
- Our methods focus on creating motivation for learning and exploring through inspirational teaching.
- Our team believes in positive reinforcement rather than traditional methods.
