Pathways Team

ROLE: Early Childhood

SCHOOL: American Nicaraguan School

COUNTRY: Nicaragua

In June 2020, Early Childhood Educators at the American Nicaraguan School came together to explore the provocation: How might we, as a community, honor natural curiosity as the driver of early learning? Through a design process, the team returns to that provocation to continually reflect and reimagine learning for the youngest ANS Tigers.
