our PHILOSOPHY
Our program is built around the concept that children are born ready to learn. A child develops and learns when you expose them to a nourishing and rich environment. Providing educational equipment and materials are a key component in a child’s development. As caregivers, we strive to create a learning environment that is safe, stimulating and encouraging. The following principles are excerpted from the Learners Academy Plus and serve as the foundation for our curriculum.
- Children develop knowledge of their world through active interactions with caregivers, peers, materials, and events.
- Learning is sequential, building on prior understandings and experiences.
- Learning proceeds at different rates in each area and each child; children will show a range of skills and understandings in any one area of development.
- Learning in each area is interconnected. Young children learn best through experiences, which incorporate several areas of development
- Learning is embedded in a culture. Children learn best when their learning activities are rooted in a familiar cultural context.
- Learning begins in the family, continues in early care and education settings, and depends on parent involvement and caregiver guidance.
-
All children have the potential to achieve the ohio Learning Standards with appropriate supports and instruction.
