Educators feel quite concerned about such a trend prevalent in traditional schools. It needs to be stopped and replaced with an innovative and quality learning approach that focuses on fostering students’ creative and individual development. If children are given opportunities to explore and discover things and allowed to learn about them in a playful and engaging manner, they can become passionate about learning for their whole life. From this exposure early in life they are more likley to lead a vibrant and constructive life in the future and become thinking and creative individuals in the years to come.
For fostering development of children’s social, physical and artistic skills and abilities, KLA Schools undertakes innovative East Bay Daycare Programs where children get to participate in purposeful, engaging and interesting activities. These are conducted by prepared instructors and children perform such activities under their watchful eyes. The activities in which children participate are carefully documented for providing information while enabing them to revisit and reconstruct their experiences and understandings after some time has elapsed. Parents are also provided this documentation, so they can attain a better understanding of their child’s learning experiences.
KLA Schools also organizes art classes in its uniquely designed classrooms for facilitating children’s creative development. At an art class, children come across a wide variety of natural and man made material which they explore and feel. Through this exposure, they increase their understanding of the materials, while learning to express their experiences and impressions in natural and creative ways. They are able to independently differentiate between various materials. For promoting further development of their interests, children here are provided with a supportive, comfortable, home like and safe environment. The environment at KLA School of Walnut Creek acts as a teacher for them along with their their parents and teachers who happen to be a child’s first and second teachers.
At KLA Schools, teachers fulfill multiple roles for nurturing children’s interests including that of a facilitator, co-learner, observer and researcher. The guidance and motivation provided by the teachers is instrumental in raising children’s curiosity and inclining them towards learning. Parents also act as partners in their child’s learning process at KLA Schools.
