At Podar Little Maestros Early Childhood Centers, we believe in KIDUCATION – education from the point of view of the child’s development. KIDUCATION is a holistic approach that ensures the activities and learning experiences children are exposed to at their age are relevant, developmentally appropriate, culturally specific, and hands-on.
Early childhood is a critical period in a child’s life when their brain is rapidly developing, and they are forming the foundation for future learning. It is during this time that children learn best through play, exploration, and hands-on experiences. KIDUCATION recognizes the importance of providing children with a stimulating environment that fosters their curiosity, creativity, and love for learning.
One of the key principles of KIDUCATION is ensuring that the activities and learning materials are developmentally appropriate. We understand that each child is unique and has their own pace of development. Our educators are trained to observe and understand each child’s individual needs and provide them with activities that are challenging yet achievable.
Another important aspect of KIDUCATION is cultural specificity. We recognize that children come from diverse backgrounds and have different cultural experiences. Our curriculum incorporates elements from different cultures, promoting inclusivity and diversity. By exposing children to various cultural practices, traditions, and languages, we aim to foster a sense of respect, empathy, and understanding towards others.
Hands-on learning is at the heart of KIDUCATION. We believe that children learn best when they actively engage with their environment and manipulate objects. Our classrooms are designed to provide children with a wide range of hands-on learning experiences, such as sensory play, art and craft activities, science experiments, and pretend play. These activities not only enhance their cognitive skills but also develop their fine and gross motor skills.
At Podar Little Maestros, we are committed to providing a KIDUCATION that prepares children for a successful future. Our educators undergo continuous professional development to stay updated with the latest research and best practices in early childhood education. We strive to create a nurturing and enriching environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.
