Our program is based on a philosophy of early childhood education which is derived from the cognitive developmental theory of Jean Piaget a Swiss child psychologist. According to this theory young children are not passive recipients of knowledge. They actively construct their own knowledge of the world when they are provided with a physical and social environment that gives them the materials freedom encouragement and time to explore and experiment to try out their own ideas and to learn from their own successes and failures.
