How Children Learn at Children's Corner

At Children's Corner, our philosophy is that children develop at their own rate and in their own way, and learn best through play. We believe that it is critical to set up a classroom environment that is interesting and appealing so that each time a child comes to Children's Corner, he or she finds an activity that is new, interesting and age appropriate. Our classroom environments are divided into developmentally appropriate learning areas. As children play in the environment, they have numerous opportunities to interact with materials, peers, and adults.

We believe children come to school with an immense amount of curiosity and it is our job as teachers to set up the classroom environment so it is exciting and engaging. Our teachers are caring and encouraging so each child feels safe and comfortable to explore, invent, think, imagine and try. Our teachers are educated in the field of child development and stay current by attending classes, workshops, and conferences. We believe that, with a stimulating classroom environment and nurturing and enthusiastic teachers, the children will leave at the end of the day having learned more about themselves and the world around them.

Listed on the left are some examples of what children are actually learning while they are at play.
