We believe that early development occurs best in an enriched environment where each child is encouraged and challenged but neither hurried nor hindered. They work independently at times and in cooperative groups at other times. We include ‘traditional’, ‘progressive’ and ‘emergent’ teaching approaches: the best of each! The traditional approach offers children an academic head start when they enter Grade 1; the progressive strategies help children to develop social skills and higher-level thinking; and the emergent style helps children develop their own areas of interest, which helps them to love learning!
