• About Us•Young children are naturally curious and want to work with everything they can get their hands on.
......They absorb concepts and skills from their surroundings and peers almost through osmosis. Provide them with a challenging atmosphere and intriguing learning materials, and children will spontaneously investigate what they are and how they work. Learning can and should be as natural as breathing. ......Students of every age level learn best through hands-on experience, not simply by listening to their teachers’ explanations. They need opportunities to learn by trial, error and discovery. They need time to practice and apply new skills and knowledge. They need to be carefully coached. ......Rather than present students with an abundance of right answers, we ask the right questions. From the very youngest child, we help children discover the answers for themselves. Learning becomes its own reward, and each success fuels the desire to discover more. ......If they knew the words, even very young children would request: “Help me learn to do it myself!” As we allow students to develop a meaningful degree of independence and self-discipline, we also set a pattern for a lifetime of good work habits and a sense of responsibility. Our students take pride in doing things for themselves--carefully and well. more....... |
