A curriculum that has broader objectives than other school methods.
Most school curricula focus on very narrow objectives, ie academics. The young child needs broader learning objectives for proper development. We include:
- Developmental activities; to allow children to work, grow, achieve independence.
- Sensorial activities for allow children to organize what they have already experienced.
- Language activities designed so children can ‘touch and feel’ language.
- Maths activities designed so children can grasp the real meaning of numbers and the foundations of mathematics.
Hands-on language methods quickly build skills using methods that match the child’s thinking processes.
Tactile maths materials provide ‘concrete’ learning so later the child will truly be ready for abstract written numbers.
