KLA Schools: Cultivating Children's Imagery Power through Innovative Learning

Engaging children through art unlocks creativity which allows them to express and trust themselves. Not only the spirit of inquiry and exploration they receive during art workshops, but the addition to caring and life skills empower them to take charge of their lives. Despite the overwhelming evidence that these aspects add to the overall portrayal of the children’s personality, most playschools or preschools are still following the conventional teaching system where only theory is the base of learning and not the practical experiences. On the contrary, KLA Schools Walnut Creek stands apart as it focuses on the importance of imparting innovative learning opportunities for children in their preschool years. Believing in the Reggio Emilia Approach enables KLA Schools to place emphasis on creating a supportive and conducive environment for children during their Summer Art Workshops so that exploring and discovering things will motivate and develop their interests and passions. At this school, children are provided opportunities to explore different experiences through a self-guided educational approach.

In each Art Class for Kids, they will explore meaningful ideas and processes that lead toward authentic work in a variety of media. Class size is limited to the ideal number of children so that each child will receive plenty of individual attention. In order to provide them ideal developmental environment, KLA Schools motivates children to explore and experience things from an early age. They should be given opportunities to express their creative interests, pursue them and develop them further. In order to achieve this, they should be provided a conducive and comfortable environment in which to learn. KLA School of Walnut Creek considers these necessities as it provides innovative and quality learning experiences to its students. In their preschool years, KLA Schools creates a safe, secure and home like environment for children in order to enable them to follow and cultivate their interests and passions.

The Reggio Emilia Approach followed by KLA Schools Walnut Creek derives its name from its place of origin, Reggio Emilia, a city located in the Emilia Romagna region in Northern Italy. The Approach has the belief that if children are encouraged to explore, discover and learn things in a playful and meaningful manner beginning at an early age, they will be eager to learn throughout their life. This will enable them to lead a constructive and rich life later while becoming thoughtful, constructive and responsible citizens.
