Our curriculum supports our philosophy and belief that children learn best when they are actively engaged in play. Modeled after the project approach of Katz and Chard, our curriculum engages children in in-depth explorations into different topics or subjects determined by what the children are excited and curious about.
We know as adults we are more motivated to 调查 and learn about subjects that are of interest to us. This is why teaching to the child's interests makes a great deal of sense. 通过调动孩子们的思想, they are more apt to obtain a deeper understanding of the every day world around them.
为了利用孩子们的兴趣, 我们的老师从观察游戏开始, 同伴与成人的互动, 与家人对话, 创造性的工作. 除了, we will frequently ask children, "What do you wonder about?"
Through these engaging activities and in-depth explorations, 幼儿发展个人/社交能力, 语言, 身体技能, 还有数学技能, 科学技能和创造性思维.
To grow socially, a child needs to interact, play and talk with other children and adults. 在大人的鼓励和指导下, a child will gain independence and self-discipline and recognition of the value of others.
培养语言技能, 孩子需要练习听和说, as well as exposure to a wide variety of reading and writing materials.
身体发育, a child needs opportunities to master small and large motor skills, eat nutritional well-balanced meals and enjoy plenty of sunshine and fresh air.
培养数学思维能力, 孩子需要排序, 创建模式, 测量, 并获得对数字的理解.
