Little Learners goal is to help children develop a positive sense of self, be active and creative explorers and in the process become enthusiastic learners. We work on creating an environment that meets and, when appropriate, challenges the needs and abilities of the children. Our program addresses goals in all areas of development:
Socio-Emotional: To help children feel comfortable at the center, to nurture their sense of trust, autonomy and belonging. To give them daily opportunities to experience pride and self-confidence, to develop independence and self-control, and a positive outlook on life. Cognitive: To foster children’s ability to ask questions, describe their ideas, observations and feelings. To help children acquire problem solving skills and develop a love for learning by providing play opportunities through which they can explore and investigate, construct and create, pretend and recreate, discover and document. Physical: To help children develop their large and small muscles skills and feel confident in using them. Each classroom environment is carefully organized, with a selection of toys, books, and materials accessible to children. Each week, staff plans a daily schedule of activities around a theme and with a focus on specific skills to meet the developmental needs of the children in the classroom. From toddler through school-age the classrooms are organized into different interest areas, such as blocks, art, table toys, library, science, computers etc.
