Spring cleaning is even more fun with friends around!
“When you adopt a strong, resourceful, capable image of the child you respond to children’s disposition to learn within children’s everyday play and social interactions.” (Flight, p. 46)
Participating and Persisting

“Participating with others, observing what others are doing, shared understanding or for turns. Each child participating with materials and ideas and others is mighty learner.

Persisting with challenges and difficulty with ideals and with others. Each child persisting with new strategies, by asking for help when needed or trying again another day, is a mighty learner. “

Meet our little explorers!
“Play Exploration and Problem Solving - Using all their senses, children explore the physical and social worlds around them. In the process they refine their senses, test their personal capacities, and construct knowledge about people, places, and things. At play, children learn to make their thinking visible, build theories about how the world works, and practice skills and dispositions for inquiry, negotiation, and problem solving.”
