Children by nature are kinesthetic learners; this program gives them hands-on opportunities to learn and explore in an environment that stimulates the mind and body. The children in this class will be developing empathy through teamwork, confidence, and self-esteem as they work together solving problems and exploring their environment.
Description
Research finds that children are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self-belief, confidence , learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication, problem solving skills, and emotional well-being.
What to Expect
We value taking the students’ lead and use their interests as ‘teachable moments;’ having choice keeps students engaged and focused.
We will maintain a flexible schedule, with a predictable flow of daily activities to ensure a trusting learning environment is offered.
Arrival: Your child will be greeted by a teacher and guided to an area where small activities are available for exploration.
Large Group Activity: Movement, stories, songs, team games, collaborative art projects
Discovery Time: Exploring and using the senses to connect with the physical world around us. Literacy, math, and science will be incorporated through classifying, sorting, counting, problem-solving, investigating, measuring, answering open-ended questions, observing, and hypothesizing.
