General Approach to Learning



Savvy Source's Comments

Many pre-schools focus primarily on repetitive exercises and worksheets and tell parents that their child will be well prepared for kindergarten or first grade. However in these formative years young children learn through exploration, social interactions, observation, play, and discovering both on their own and through teacher lead activities. Enrichment activities including dance/movement, music and Spanish also give children other avenues for self expression. Our developmentally balanced approach combined with what you as parents teach your child forms a foundation for them to become life long learners. A journey filled with questioning instead of answering. Extracted from A Child's Reflection website

Savvy Source's Comments

Our curriculum recognizes the need top provide multiple avenues for children to learn, grow and progress. Therefore, children: Practice decision making by selecting activities from a variety of learning centers. Express themselves creatively through art, music, dramatic play, movement, and use of unstructured materials. Develop appropriate concepts and thinking skills through exploration of a variety of concrete materials and activities. Experience warm and positive interactions with children and adults. Verbalize feeling in a supportive, accepting environment that encourages independence and self control Participate in physical activities to develop fine and gross motor skills. Engage in language arts, both English and Spanish and phonics. Learn math, reading and science. Extracted from A Child's Reflection website
