Early Childhood Education
Education concerns the growth of the whole child. Cognitive, affective and psychomotor growth are all interrelated and each plays a vital role in the learning experiences of children. In creating an educational philosophy that is in harmony with the concept of educating the whole child, The American Academy for Girls Early Childhood Program:
- Works toward establishing a safe atmosphere that the child
senses through the physical environment and experiences
through personal interactions. There is freedom to converse,
work together, and move about.
- Strives for the child to have a positive self-image. Each child is
a unique individual with specific needs. Each grows and develops at a different rate. There is trust in the child and a respect for each child's diversity. Consideration is given for interests, special abilities, and individual style and pace of learning.
- Encourages growth in responsibility, independence, decision
making. The child is an active learner and each one's creativity
is valued. We work to meet children at their own interest and
ability levels, and build on what they value. This motivates
them to extend their learning.
- Provides a curriculum that is child-centered while integrating the content areas into authentic and meaningful learning experiences.
- Views the teacher as a facilitator and significant person in the
life of the child.
