About the Provider

Description:

We understand that success in learning requires the learner to be at the center of the experience, making connections across disciplines, and also across contextual settings. Children need to be presented opportunities to learn the same material in different settings and through different lenses. The traditional approach of teaching topics in isolation does not support the ways those children learn best. STEM, on the other hand, calls on parents/legal guardians and educators to give children chances to investigate an idea in a variety of settings, for what educators call cross-contextual learning. For example, in addition to math worksheets to help practice counting, we can take students outside to practice counting real objects they find, such as rocks, acorns, or leaves. Their learning is strengthened when they learn the same skills, ideas, and concepts in different contexts. Learning becomes more relevant when students go outside to explore nature, by asking the right questions, we can help stimulate investigations where student are identifying objects, making comparisons, making predictions, testing ideas, and sharing discoveries, all while observing their natural environment. Students can also explore sizes, shapes, patterns, and disciplines in different contexts all in ways that are naturally engaging to them. Unfortunately, in most academic instruction, children are in a passive or receptive mode instead of a more active or even interactive mode. Early childhood education should tap into children’s natural curiosity and give them ample opportunities to be active participants in their own learning. Natural settings offer children unlimited opportunities to explore and investigate, helping them build STEM skills that create a solid foundation for future learning. Science activities include exploring water and sand, comparing and contrasting natural materials (like rocks and soil), rolling balls across the room, and looking through a magnifying glass to count how many legs are on the bug that was caught during outdoor play. Technology activities include computerized gadgets, but also incorporate identifying simple machines like gears, wheels, and pulleys. Engineering activities in preschool happen in the block area. There, children plan and design structures every day with little teacher direction. Math activities include counting, matching shapes, and making patterns. Measuring is made easy too, especially with unit blocks where two of one size equal one of the next size up.

Happy Parent Mar 06, 2023
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have had my 3 children here for several years now. My family has been here since 2019. They have updated the floors and replaced all the bathrooms in 2022. They have work hard to provide a safe and friendly environment for everyone. My guess the negative review was posted by a family that was asked to leave. After being here several years I respect that the owner will work hard to accommodate requests and helps extensively with children who have behavior issues. There is zero tolerance for drama from staff or enrolled families and they are asked to leave if they have create drama. Hence negative reviews to create more drama. I can say that Julie gives her personal cell number to everyone and asks for them to reach out with questions and concerns and will address them quickly. I think this place treats us like they really care about our whole family. Worth checking out.

Concerned Parent Jan 21, 2022
I have used this provider for more than 6 months

This facility is very outdated and in dire need of updating. The teachers and the directors seem nice at first, but after some time they become different people. They appear to be very good teachers, but lack professionalism when dealing with the parents. Some teachers display high school girl bully like behavior and will talk behind the back of one parent to another. I cannot understand why they feel the need to act this way, or if they are just truly unhappy and have some other deep internal flaw.
