Early Learning
Using the High/Scope philosophy, we provide opportunities for children to experience:
• Active Learning:
Children are involved in direct hands-on learning with people, objects, ideas and events. Teachers support children in developing the High/Scope key experiences that target their intellectual, physical, social and emotional development.
• Positive Adult-Child Interaction:
Adults observe and interact with children to discover how each child thinks and reasons and to support the development of the key experiences.
• Rich Learning Environment:
The class is arranged in several clearly defined interest areas that enable children to choose, use and return materials in order to explore, invent and learn about their world.
• Consistent Daily Routine:
A consistent daily schedule provides consistency for both children and adults. A daily plan-do-review process provides children the opportunity to pursue their interests, make plans, follow through on them, and reflect on their experiences with adults and their peers.
• On-going Assessment:
Teachers record daily anecdotal notes on children's behaviors, experiences, and interests to assess each child's development and plan activities to facilitate their growth and development.
