curriculum: Balancing learning with engaging activities
Children that join us on a short term basis integrate seamlessly in our groups and enjoy all of the same activities as regular children. Many families worry that the children don’t speak English when the sudden posting happens. We see it time and time again how those worries dissipate and parents rejoice when they see their children well adjusted, communicating confidently and happily learning with us.
Our program introduces learners to our hands-on experiential approach to learning. Educators prepare daily playful, stimulating projects and activities designed to create learning habits, entice children to practice their thinking skills while developing in children, the curiosity, creativity, and interest in the world around them to love learning and be confident in their abilities.
Our Finnish curriculum, developed by early education experts in Finalnd, expands children’s knowledge about themselves, the world and the role children play in it. Our highly experienced educators introduce a new Focus Unit every week, exposing children to new knowledge, activities and time to practice newly acquired knowledge, connecting it to existing knowledge and experiences.
Children learn in small (1/7 educator to children ratio) multi-age groups, allowing children of different abilities to learn from others and solidify understanding, refine skills and deepen comprehension.
Our small groups allow educators to get to know the child well, support all of their beings and use experience based methods focusing on understanding and well being.
Siblings do incredibly well in our program and families appreciate that multiple places can be offered.
Our youngest students and those new to English, are guided through the universal language of play and creative strategies to understand, learn and develop their confidence to learn and put the knowledge to practice!
