Children are naturally inquisitive and learn best through play and from meaningful, first-hand experiences.
We need to help the next generation of children to grow up as creative and flexible thinkers, and to be good decision-makers, able to question, challenge and make choices.
Unless children feel good about themselves and feel they belong within the group they will not learn effectively.
Children learn best when they are given appropriate responsibility, allowed to make mistakes, decisions, and choices, and respected as autonomous learners.
A curriculum needs to be challenging, relevant to children and pertinent to individual needs and interests.
It is important to recognize the parents’ key role as the child’s first and most enduring educator.
