About the Provider
Global Children's Center was founded on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Howard Gardner's theory states that all students come to the classroom with different skill levels and sets of developed intelligences. Therefore, each child will have his own unique set of strengths and weaknesses or unique learning style. When students are properly assessed, teachers must get an accurate overview of their strengths and weaknesses, which will allow teachers to better present the information being taught. Howard Gardner's theory claims that a better approach to assessment is to allow students to explain the material in their own ways using the different intelligences. Based on his theory we believe that each child is unique and our teacher will take each child's strength and weakness and guide them in a positive manner. Our ultimate goal at Global Children's Center is to provide an environment that is filled with social, fun activities, cool Kids' Zones, quiet homework zone, and exciting field trips for all of our students.
