The teaching team utilizes the High/Scope’s educational approach which emphasizes active participatory learning. Active learning means
students have direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. Childrens interests and choices are at the heart of our programs. They construct their own knowledge through interactions with the world and the people around them. Children take the first step in the learning process by making choices and following through on their plans and decisions. Teachers and parents offer physical, emotional, and intellectual support. In active learning settings, adults expand childrens thinking with diverse materials and nurturing interactions.
Almost 40 years of research shows that High/Scope programs advance the development of children and improve their chance of living a better life through adulthood. National research with children from different backgrounds has shown that those who attend High/Scope programs score higher on measures of development than similar children enrolled in other preschool and child care programs.
