About the Provider

Description: At the Warren Early Childhood Center children are offered many opportunities to "strengthen their confidence in their own intellectual powers. Through project-based learning the children learn to ask questions about the world, to develop and represent theories about the answers to those questions and to conduct research to evaluate their theories. This happens in much the same way as experiments done in a high school science lab might be done by using the scientific method.
