Overview
We profoundly feel that children have sensitive periods in which they are particularly able and interested in acquiring a certain knowledge or skill. We believe that the only way to learn is by “doing”. At each stage materials are developed to correspond with the child’s cognitive growth. Children absorb knowledge through interacting through their environment. It is very orderly and sequential allowing the children to become motivated from within to reach their fullest potential. It is based on a profound respect for the child allowing freedom within a strong structure. Each child works at his own pace allowing for a natural progression of development in an unhurried atmosphere. Classrooms are materials based, allowing the child many opportunities to initiate activities, to explore and to practice. The teachers are not the focus, but rather facilitators and partners in the process. Our teaching fosters the development of the whole personality of the child, not merely his intellectual faculties but also the social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual.
