Based on children’s interests, our team works with them to encourage them to take risks with their learning, be creative and problem-solvers, and develop resilience to face new challenges. We also help them to build positive and lasting relationships.
Learning and development are essential
The final year of high school includes:
Oral language is the foundation for all literacy learning. Children are taught how to communicate with their peers. This includes learning new vocabulary, correct grammar, sentence structure, singing, playing games, reading to them, and modeling correct grammar.
The ability to manage one’s emotions and social-emotional skills.
Active learning programs help to develop physical skills.
Brain development, building the connections for all subsequent learning through active involvement, alongside their peers in a play based program.
Research has shown that children learn better when they are actively involved in an activity. Play-based programs encourage active learning and support a variety of developmental outcomes, including independence, curiosity, creativity and resilience.
