Reggio Emilia Inspired
With a heavy influence from the Reggio Emilia approach, Child’s World Preschool creates an environment where children are encouraged to explore, create, collaborate, and reflect, fostering a lifelong love for learning and a strong foundation for future growth.
Child-Centered Learning
Emphasis is placed on the child's innate curiosity and interests. Learning experiences are driven by the child's questions, observations, and discoveries, allowing them to actively engage and take ownership of their learning journey.
The Outdoor Classroom
We spend most of our days outside because we believe that nature plays a pivotal role in learning. The outdoor environment becomes an extended classroom where children explore, discover, and connect with the natural world. These interactions foster curiosity, creativity, and a profound appreciation for the environment. They have the freedom to climb, dig, build, ride bikes, and test their physical abilities, all while developing problem-solving skills, independence, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
The Atelier
Atelier is a French word for “Art Studio.” Various art mediums are integrated into daily activities. We proudly offer high-quality art materials to our students. You’ll find more than the standard markers & crayons in our atelier (Although we love those too!) Inside you’ll find watercolors, oil pastels, clay, acrylic paints, and more. We believe that children can be trusted with such special tools if given guidance on how to care for them. These avenues allow children to communicate, express emotions, and represent their understanding of the world around them in meaningful ways.
Project Based Exploration
Learning is organized around projects that emerge from the children's inquiries. These projects encourage in-depth exploration of topics, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills as children delve into subjects that captivate their interest.
Thoughtfully designed provocations
In art, science, math, literacy, and social-emotional learning, these invitations to play inspire children to think critically, build resilience, and make new discoveries in both indoor and outdoor environments. Whether constructing with loose parts, investigating patterns in nature, or engaging in collaborative storytelling, children are encouraged to explore their ideas in meaningful, hands-on ways.
