We believe
that
children learn best when they have caring adults to guide, respect and provide
challenges and support for them as individuals
and as important members of a group.
We
also recognize that children are unique and learn at different rates and
in different styles. Our teachers are experienced educators who have developed
their own creative and unique teaching styles and methods to respond to
each individual child's needs.
The
school focuses on nurturing emotional, social, physical, cognitive, and
language skills in the children. We aim to develop their:
- Problem solving skills
-
Risk taking skills (accepting mistakes with the understanding that making
mistakes is an integral part of learning)
-
Pro-social skills (taking turns, using words, cooperative play, self-discipline,
and self direction)
-
Independence and self esteem
-
Capacity to respect and care for others
-
Listening skills and language development
-
Pre-math skills and reading readiness
The
RED BALLOON provides a well rounded, child-centered curriculum that offers
a variety of challenges and experiences for children to explore including
educational games, science, art, story time, music and movement, and a
variety of activities that celebrate diversity and promote social awareness.
With an emphasis on literacy, we introduce the children to the wonders
and excitement of books, nurture their language skills, and encourage
their creativity.
