Teachers of Creative Kids
Our most important requirement is that the teachers and helpers should be extremely loving, gentle and patient with the children, we are in charge of your most valued possession, would you have it any other way?
Our teachers have been trained for early childhood education and are also trained for the specialized programs we use.
Play-based learning programs include :
HighScope is an example of a teacher-led approach. The philosophy is that children should be involved actively in their own learning.
The Montessori Method emphasizes self-directed activity on the part of the child and clinical observation on the part of the teacher.
The objective is to adapt the child's learning environment to his or her development level. This broad approach encourages children to learn through play.
Ontario Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program, for 4 and 5 year olds, is a school program consisting of exploration, investigation, guided and explicit instruction.
Ontario Early Years Centres is a parent-child interactive program with a focus on play-based learning.
Parents and caregivers stay with the child, and can obtain information about programs and services available for young children and their families.
The Reggio Emilia approach has a vision of the child as a competent learner, and has produced a child-directed curriculum model. The Reggio approach believes that children learn through interaction with others (including parents, staff and peers) in a friendly learning environment.
