KLA Schools’ Secure Environment Promoting Children’s Development

The learning provided in traditional schools does not focus on building interests, passions, skills or character in their students and thus hampers their personality, individuality and creative development. As a result of this, students fail to lead a constructive and fulfilling life in their coming years. They remain uninterested in connecting with the community and responding to its needs.

Educators are feeling quite concerned at this disturbing pattern prevalent in traditional schools. It needs to be stopped and instead replaced with an innovative, purposeful and enriching learning approach where the focus is on individuality, creative and personality development in students. By motivating children to explore, discover and learn things in a meaningful and playful manner beginning at an early age, they are able to grow to be receptive towards learning throughout their lives. This enables them to lead a dynamic and fulfilling life later and they can become constructive, thoughtful, responsible and confident citizens of tomorrow.

KLA Schools Walnut Creek has already taken a step in this direction and is nurturing children by providing them with innovative and quality learning opportunities. KLA Schools’ guiding force has been the Reggio Emilia Approach which emphasizes the importance of providing a secure, supportive and enriching environment to children in order to promote exploration and discovery in them and for building their interests, passions and skills. Children are offered the opportunity to learn through a self-guided curriculum.

For facilitating children’s social, physical and artistic development, KLA Schools organizes various interesting, refreshing and fun-filled activities including indoor games for preschoolers. These are conducted by prepared and certified instructors. Experience are carefully documented for providing information and enables children to revisit and reconstruct their feelings, understandings and ideas at a later time. Parents can also access the gathered information which grants them knowledge about their child’s experiences and individual learning processes.

Classrooms at KLA Schools are designed so that their unique look and feel spurs children to explore and experience various natural and man made materials. This way, they can acquire a better understanding about physical properties and enhance their knowledge and interests further. Children are able to differentiate various materials independently which boosts their cognitive abilities enabling them to express their experiences in a creative and spontaneous manner.  For cultivating children’s interests, KLA Schools provides them with a conducive, secure, comfortable and home like environment. Here the environment becomes a third teacher for the children alongside their parents and teachers who happen to be a child’s first and second teachers.

At KLA Schools, teachers play multiple roles including that of a facilitator, co-learner, observer and researcher for nurturing the children. Support and motivation provided by teachers helps to nurture curiosity in children and promotes learning in them. Even parents actively contribute in their child’s learning at KLA Schools.

By creating a conducive, secure, relaxing and home like environment for children and by granting them opportunities to participate in refreshing, interesting and fun-filled activities including Preschool Gym Games, KLA Schools Walnut Creek facilitates their social, cognitive, linguistic, physical and artistic development. Teachers, parents and the community are all contributing towards children’s development at KLA Schools.
