Open Gate’s educational philosophy is founded upon the developmental readiness theory (Gesell Institute): i.e., that children’s growth and development progresses by predictable stages, that each child progresses at his own unique pace, and that optimum, well-balanced development occurs when the natural pace is respectEducation Therefore, the emphasis is on social-emotional development, physical skills, competence and independence in daily routines, creativity and imagination, and self esteem as prerequisites to formal schooling, and not on early academics.
