School Notes
- "What will my child learn at KinderCare - Las Colinas "
This is a question we are often asked by parents of young children as they tour our center. Research has shown that young children learn best through active, hands-on experiences. In other words, children learn by doing.
KinderCare Learning Centers provide a curriculum that allows teachers to organize and structure their environment to meet the needs of the individual children in their classroom. We provide activities that promote growth in each of the six developmental domains.
Through open-ended activities, we foster creativity, risk taking, and allow children the opportunity to test their ideas. In order to learn best, young children need to get their hands on the materials they are leaning about. They need to see it, touch it, smell it, taste it, hear it, and feel it.
Children develop at very different rates, but they all follow predictable patterns in stages and sequence of development. Development cannot be taught or hurried but can be guided and encouraged. That is what we strive to do in our programs.
I believe the most important thing we can give a child is a love for learning. At KinderCare - Las Colinas, children are encouraged to become independent, self-confident, enthusiastic and inquisitive learners. They are encouraged to think for themselves, make decisions, develop problem solving skills, and communicate their ideas.
