Stimulating curiosity, nurturing creativity and fostering the habits of mind and habits of work necessary for children to explore their interests are primary objectives at this level of education. The development of self-regulation underlies each child's ability to identify his/her strengths, follow interests and make positive academic and social choices. To motivate students, teachers provide an increasing number of open-ended enrichment opportunities inside their classrooms. Additionally, STEAM programs and self-selecting, optional talent development programs, set the stage for encouraging students to go above and beyond classroom experiences.
