Learning occurs when we combine imagination and creativity. Imagination drives creativity, problem-solving, and personal growth, serving as a canvas for ideas. By nurturing imagination, we help our students move forward.. With more exposure to creativity and imagination, you will see your student problem solving, engaging in critical thinking, and making more connections between subjects.
