Learning themes are planned out based on actual children’s interests and developmental needs. The class will have at least one primary project being worked on for each theme which usually lasts about two months. This gives the children’s enough time for deep thinking, uninterrupted exploration, and creation of the arts or crafts that they are truly passionate about with their own thinking and imagination.
Each project will incorporate various subjects, including but not limited to math (number, color, shapes, etc.), alphabet and reading, science, arts, and music, etc.
