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.
You may see more natural and home-like elements in the classroom.
This is to make the children, families, and teachers as
comfortable, open, and inspired as possible. Parents are
encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s
learning. The class website, documentation around the
classroom, the interest web, conversations with teachers and
children are the best ways to understand and follow the complete
learning process that is taking place in the classroom at Field of
Dreams.
Other features of our Curriculum are as follows:
-Conferences will be offered in correlation with our formal
assessments at least twice a year. We encourage all families
to participate so that educators can discuss the child's progress
in the classroom.
-A portfolio featuring your child’s developmental milestones will
follow them from infancy until Kindergarten.
-Our environment naturally inspires children to learn through
connections with nature while fostering individual learning styles
with home-like elements in the classroom.
