A Research-Based Approach to Learning Our curriculum is grounded in early childhood education research and developmental psychology. It incorporates well-established theories, ensuring that our learning experiences are age-appropriate, effective, and engaging:
📚 John Dewey’s Research – Learning happens best when children interact with their environment through structured yet flexible exploration.
🌎 Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory – Child development is influenced by various environmental and social systems.
🧠 Jean Piaget’s Developmental Stage Theory – Children are active learners who build understanding through hands-on experiences.
🎭 Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences – Learning is diverse and should incorporate a variety of modalities, such as music, art, movement, and nature-based experiences.
🧩 Brain-Based Learning Theory – Learning is optimized when it connects past and present knowledge, engages multiple senses, and is presented in a stimulating yet secure environment.
👩👧 R.N. Emde & Louis Sanders’ Relationship Theory – The bond between caregiver and child plays a central role in emotional and cognitive development.
🌍 Barbara Rogoff’s Cultural Theory – Recognizing that development is shaped by cultural and community influences, we strive to create an inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment.
