Katie's Educational Center

At Katie's Educational Center, we turn every occasion into a teaching moment. Katie's Educational Center promises to proved a safe, affordable, and educational experience for children. We feel it is most important to educate children in ways to ensure they will develop into happy, healthy and productive members of society. With these focuses we provide an empowering, and an engaging learning environment for children. Katie's Educational Center knows how vital it is to set all of our children up with a passion for lifelong learning. At Katie's Educational Center, we believe in the constructivist theory, in which children learn best by doing. A great resource explains the theory best, "In constructivist preschool classrooms children are viewed as powerful and capable of seeking information that builds knowledge" (Katz, 193). Mistakes are an essential part in learning, through trial and error children explore their surroundings and come up with solutions on their own or help with a peer. Teachers will provide scaffolding, which is a teaching method that enables a student to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a goal through a gradual shedding of outside assistance. Children learn as they explore the world around them and the exploration provides an avenue for problem solving. As children explore, they develop new questions, and theorize answers. We believe that children benefit not only from structured learning but also playing/working with their peers. With this mentality, children are encouraged to help each other, and together they can come up with a solution in any situation. This is an extremely empowering learning skill, where children not only learn from helping but also learn it is ok to ask friends for help. At Katie's Educational Center, we encourage individuality but also teamwork and believe that together we can help each child grow and learn to their greatest potential.
