Our curriculum is developed around the four significant areas of all children’s development: social emotional physical and cognitive. These are four concepts that guide all adult interactions with children whether formal or informal.
Social
Children learn through interaction with adults and other children. At The Children’s Garden they are provided with opportunities to develop social skills such as cooperating sharing helping negotiating and communicating with others.
Emotional
Children learn best when their physical needs are met and they feel psychologically safe and secure. Adults facilitate the development of self-control in children by using positive guidance techniques such as modeling redirecting children to acceptable behavior and providing positive reinforcement.
Physical
Children are provided daily opportunities to develop large muscle and small muscle skills through a variety of indoor and outdoor play activities. Children gain physical knowledge through having their needs met by learning to meet their own needs.
Cognitive
Children’s inherent curiosity motivates them to become involved in learning activities. The Children’s Garden embraces this form of learning. The children are encouraged to use their imaginations to explore the world around them and express themselves through a variety of channels.
During this time of development a tool many teachers are taught to use is journaling. This helps them to access the academic social and emotional progress of the classroom as a whole. This can also alert us to any social/emotional issues that might occur with your child.
