At Field of Dreams, we use an approach to teaching and learning that focuses on the natural development of the child. Learning will be child directed, this is based on the philosophy that learning must make sense to the child in order for it to be effective and meaningful. The teachers will listen to and respect the thoughts and ideas of the children to develop lessons that are interesting and meaningful.
Senses play a large part in a child`s learning and will be utilized frequently to provoke naturally inspired learning. The teachers will focus a majority of their time on teaching the children colors, numbers, letters, and other academic skills in preparation for kindergarten.
This will be done in a way that makes sense to the child and coincides with their natural development.
