Riverstone School

Riverstone School in Sunnyvale Texas is Child-Centered. Child-Centeredness means being completely in tune with each and every child knowing him or her from the inside-out. It is focusing on the child and attending to his or her needs. It is recognizing that no one child is like another. It is being a careful observer of the child knowing where he or she is in his or her development at any given time and helping the child progress explore and discover.

We are not concerned with the end product – of an art project or activity. We know that it is the process that teaches the child not the end product. In learning to read we know children must go through many complex developmental stages before they will be physically ready to master and retain the skills that literacy demands.

Children need to have experiences before they can attach words to their experiences. They need to have experiences with things and people as they develop. Children need to experience the glue the scissors the paper the sand the mud the water the air the flowers the insects smells tastes sounds sights hard things soft things smooth things rough things walking running hopping jumping and skipping. They need experiences with other children with adults with grandparents and with animals. They then will be able to use language with these experiences – to ask questions to discuss to talk to point to laugh and to learn.
