School Notes
- School's goal is to teach children how to learn, giving them a valuable tool for success in their later years as well.
- This curriculum encourages children to be independent, self-confident, and inquisitive individuals.
- We use materials such as blocks to help the children learn about size, shape, and color.
- After learning these basic concepts, we teach the children words and numbers, which are more abstract.
- Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children.
- It provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child's cognitive, language, social, emotional, and creative development.
- Within the program's daily schedule, each child has opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills, and learn concepts through first-hand experiences.
