Supported By Educational Theories
At Kids Garden, we believe the early years are a magical time of discovery. Our curriculum intertwines play with learning, creating enriching experiences that inspire young minds to bloom and grow.
Our philosophy is rooted in long-standing educational theories, primarily:
- Montessori Inspired - The Montessori philosophy is focused on encouraging play. It stipulates that play is the work of children and is driven by their curiosity. At Kids Garden, we encourage play-based learning and let the children show us where their strengths and interests are.
- Reggio Emilia Inspired - The Reggio Emilia philosophy says children have 100 languages or ways of expressing themselves and learning. We incorporate this idea into Kids Garden Summerville, SC by creating an engaging and exciting environment where children can explore their interests.
Creative Arts Focused Education
In addition to Montessori and Reggio Emilia educational theories, we draw heavily on the creative arts in our early learning center. We believe that each child is a natural born artist and we encourage them to explore their creative talents.
Art supplies are found throughout our center so that kids are never far from a paintbrush, easel, or molding clay. We encourage children to use art as a medium to express themselves and explore their creative intelligence.
Our unique combination of alternative education and arts-based learning sets us apart as a child-first learning center.
