| The center is built on the understanding that all aspects of the child’s growth and development are equally important and that children grow and develop at different rates and stages. With play as the core of the curriculum, experiences emphasize learning as an active process. Thematic curriculum helps young children achieve higher levels of learning. Children learn by active engagement with their environment and through social engagement with other human beings. Teachers prepare the environment for children to construct knowledge through active exploration and interaction with other children, adults and developmentally appropriate materials. Learning experiences and materials are real, concrete and relevant to the lives of young children. |
