At Kinder Explorers, our program empowers children to become confident, successful, lifelong learners, and secure, caring people. We help children to see the world as an invitation to learn, to grow, and to live fully – to see a world full of possibilities that are within their reach. We help children to approach school and academics with skills, confidence, and the drive to succeed.
Our program creates developmentally, culturally, and individually appropriate learning environments in which each child learns what the world is like, how it works, what he/she is capable of, and his/her place in it. The daily schedules, learning centers, and the way learning is incorporated into the Center’s furnishings and the playground are all carefully planned to allow children to independently explore, discover, and learn through developmentally appropriate experience. The routines and environment are organized to teach: labeled shelves use color, symbols, and language; science experiences are built into the playground, and language and numbers are built into meals and clean-up. Materials provided cover those that can be used for the full range of developmental levels for children two to five years of age, can be used in multiple ways and can be adapted to meet children’s abilities or needs. For example, puzzles may have fewer pieces or knobs to grip them, separated or interlocking, depending on the child’s abilities.
Children are confronted with new challenges and have opportunities to practice and master skills through play and exploration. Teachers prepare and rotate the learning centers and provide large and small group experiences, extended projects, and field trips to enrich children’s learning. Themes and directions emerge from the interests and experiences of the children, families, and teachers. Field trips and enrichment programs extend children’s experience into the world beyond the center.
