Our Curriculum Philosophy

This approach is also called "Active Learning" educational approach is based on Jean Piaget's constructivist theory of child development blended with the best teaching practices. The "Active Learning" educational approach that seeks to meet a child's needs on all levels in social, cognitive, physical, and emotional. With this approach, children are mentally and physically active using their whole bodies and all their senses to explore and learn about their world.
