At KC’s Academy of Early Childhood Education, we accept and embrace the fact that children construct their learning through playful interaction with objects, activities and people in their environment. We believe that these interactions result in your child’s acquisition of knowledge within their social, emotional, physical and cognitive developmental areas. This can positively influence the development of a strong educational foundation.

Teaching Method:

To meet the needs of your child/children our teachers assess the developmental level of each child using the 3-M method for observing the children interaction with materials:

1. Manipulation
2. Mastery
3. Meaning

This method is based on the research of cognitive psychologists Jean Piaget, and also speaks to the findings of famous Italian Educator Reggio Emilio. We at KC’s find this to be an invaluable method for determining a child’s level of involvement with materials and activities. This method is important for planning and arranging self-directed learning environments that give your child/children an opportunity to interact with materials appropriate to his/her own age and stage of development.

Caring Environment:

We have provided a classroom environment that allows your child/children to:

1. Perceive which activities are available.
2. Make their own choices of activities to pursue.
3. Become deeply involve in their own learning.
