6 ways the curriculum promotes kindergarten readiness
1. Encouraging curiosity; valuing the process of learning and discovery
Rather than talking at children for hours on end, our specially trained teachers encourage children to ask questions and roll up their sleeves to find answers with a hands-on learning approach.
2. Exploring through children’s own interests, rather than a rigid and outdated curriculum
Every child has their own strengths and passions. Using an interdisciplinary curriculum approach, our attentive teachers work to follow children’s interests and encourage them to be investigators.
3. Building future-ready skills
In addition to a strong academic foundation, our approach gives children the social-emotional, physical, language, thinking, and learning skills needed to successfully interact with the people and world around them in school and life.
4. Providing joyful, playful, and inclusive environments and experiences
Cliché as it sounds, we truly want learning to be fun. Our framework rejects traditional flash cards and worksheets in favor of more immersive learning experiences which encourage play and relationship-building, the keys to rich learning experiences.
5. Integrating care and learning through our proven instructional method
As Robertson notes, “How teachers teach is as important as what is on any lesson plan. Our teachers use a research-based set of instructional practices that equip children with the skills they need to reach their full potential.”
6. Blending traditional early childhood curriculum with contemporary science and research
Backed by experts, Discovery Driven Learning utilizes a one-of-a-kind child assessment process that provides teachers and families with real-time insights into children’s development.
