Curriculum
Exploring Child Learning Center is a Reggio Emilia inspired facility. This child-centered approach emphasizes exploration, self-expression, and hands-on experiences in a nurturing environment.
At the heart of Reggio Emilia is the belief that children are capable, curious, and full of potential. Through project-based learning, open-ended materials, and strong relationships between educators, families, and the community, we cultivate a love for learning that lasts a lifetime.
We embracing a dynamic, play-based approach where every child’s voice is heard, ideas are valued, and learning is an exciting journey of discovery!
What is Play?
-

-
Play is intrinsically motivated and is process based
-

-
Play is non-stressful
-
The rules in play are made by the players/children
Play is the gateway to discovery and wonder, and through it, children embark on a journey of learning that fills them with a lifelong love for discovery.
Teacher’s role in the classroom
"Stand aside for a while and leave room for learning, observe carefully what children do, and then, you have understood well, perhaps teaching will be different from before" -Loris Malaguzzi.
Our teachers are co-constructor of knowledge, creator of the environment as a third teacher, memory keepers, guides and observers. They understand that their role is to be a complementary resource to the child and offer multiple options, suggestive ideas and sources of support. We believe that learning is a journey that the child and the teacher embark together.
