Child
The individual child is regarded with profound respect. We understand that each will learn at his/her own pace and style. Young children, in particular, experience sensitive periods for learning, and are especially receptive to absorbing certain knowledge or skills during these times. Since the classroom environment provides a rich array of learning materials and activities, children are encouraged to choose appropriate work and to operate independently within the class. As they experience the satisfaction of mastering a task or skill, children are inspired to further challenge themselves. The teacher acts as a guide connecting the child to new materials and learning opportunities as they mature. In partnership the learning process is enhanced.
