How Does Child-Focused, Teacher-Directed Learning Prepare Them For School?
Children readily engage in their learning activities, stay curious, and develop a lasting love of learning.
And they will be invited to learn about their world through songs, games, stories, and creative play.
So that your child is working at their pace, on what they need, and well-prepared for school.
Such as critical cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills that they need before entering kindergarten.
The curriculum is based on science and social studies themes and has a strong academic focus on reading and math skills.
OnSite Specialist Oversees Their Social-Emotional Development
Our dedicated Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Director works with children and guides teachers, ensuring everyone has applicable skills in their social-emotional toolkit. Your child benefits from trusted techniques to grow confident and communicative.
How Will Your Child gain Social-Emotional Skills?
As your child explores personal and social situations, they build essential skills like listening, cooperating, sharing, and self-regulation, which support all their learning. Fun activities, games, songs, and puzzles from the Peace Education Foundation teach your child the 5 “I Care Rules”:
- We listen to each other.
- Hands are for helping, not hurting.
- We use I-Care-Language.
- We care about each other’s feelings.
- We are responsible for what we say and do.
Face-to-Face:
The teacher faces children at eye level and speaks calmly and gently.
Recognition:
The teacher states an observation, like “You look very angry.”
Inquire:
The teacher asks each child to explain what happened.
Echo:
The teacher repeats each child’s statement. “John, you are saying Chris took the tricycle from you. Chris, you are saying that John doesn’t want to share with you.”
Negotiate:
“John wants to let you ride the tricycle for 10 minutes, and then he can ride it for 10 minutes.” The teacher supports negotiations in the beginning.
Down Time:
The teacher praises the children for solving the problem and then follows up to make sure the problem doesn’t persist.
Teachers use the ‘Love and Logic’ method to help children learn from their own decisions. This approach emphasizes offering choices throughout the day to show children they are capable decision-makers who can learn from the natural consequences of any mistakes under the guidance of a caring adult.
Love and Logic parenting classes encourage consistency and a home-school partnership in the care and education of each little leader. These classes are free to parents and guardians and available online for convenient, self-paced learning.
Kids Learn Patience & Care When Tending Their Community Garden
Your child explores, creates, and plays outside every day for greater independence, confidence, creativity, decision-making, gross motor, and problem-solving skills. They connect with nature as they tend their community garden and share what they’ve grown with others.
