The Early Learning Center at EMU allows children to be children, exploring the world, developing in an unhurried way, and learning for the joy of learning.
The emergent curriculum used at the center is based on the developmental interaction theory of child psychology. It enables teachers to be sensitive to the cues of the children and their interests.
Developing and nurturing a personal sense of self is valued above rote learning of skills and facts.
