At La Casita de Ninos, our programs are designed and maximized the full development of each child.
Because we know “One-Size-fits-all” doesn’t work in education, our curriculum is inspired by principles of different approaches, such as:
Maria Montessori:
- Respect for the child as an individual
- Children have absorbent minds
Regio Emilia:
- Adult is a mentor and guide
- Children understand themselves and their place in the world through their interaction with others
Howard Gardner:
- Multiple intelligences as the ways of understanding the world as we encounter problems and seek for solutions
Differentiated Learning:
- Each child has a unique learning style
- Create an environment that allows children to take control of their own learning
