The learning provided in traditional schools
does not emphasize on building interests or traits of their students. This is
hindering development of their individuality, creativity and personalities.
Consequently, they fail to lead a dynamic and thriving life when they grow up.
Such a disturbing pattern existing in the
traditional schools, has led to a deep concern among the educators. The time
has come to replace it with an enriching, innovative and productive learning
approach that focuses on building individuality and creativity of students. By
motivating children to explore and learn things in a playful and meaningful
manner from a young age, would make them passionate for learning for whole of
their life. So they would be able to lead a vibrant life in their coming years
and can become thinking, constructive and responsible citizens of tomorrow.
KLA Schools of Walnut Creek, an elite East Bay daycare and preschool has
already marched ahead in this direction and is offering children innovative and
enriching learning opportunities in their preschool years. The preschool has
adopted the Reggio Emilia Approach which focuses upon providing children with a
conducive, nurturing, safe and home like environment for promoting exploration
and discovery in them and for building their interests and abilities.
To promote the building of children’s
physical, social, emotional and cognitive abilities, KLA Schools conducts
various meaningful, exciting and fun-filled activities. Children perform them
under the guided supervision of certified instructors. Their activities are
carefully documented for providing information which enables them to revisit
and recreate their ideas, experiences and understandings at a later time. The
documentation helps parents gain knowledge about the learning process of their
child.
KLA Schools’ teachersperform various roles
like that of a co-learner, researcher, facilitator and observer as they nurture
children’s interests. They guide and motivate children which helps to arouse
their curiosity and promotes learning in them. Here, parents also play an
active role in their child’s learning process.
By granting children innovative learning
opportunities and by providing them with a conducive, nurturing and safe
environment, this outstanding East Baydaycare and preschool is promoting the development of their interests and
abilities. Here, parents, teachers and the community work together for their
development. Enriching learning provided by KLA Schools of Walnut Creek would
help to make children thoughtful, constructive and responsible citizens of
tomorrow and let them lead a lively and thriving life in their coming years.
