The Learning Safari Philosophy:
We believe that learning should be fun and memorable. Play is the
fundamental way that children learn. We feel that a child's social,
physical, intellectual and emotional development is stimulated and
fostered through opportunities that allow them to explore,
experiment and experience their environment. Our
programs are planned around a theme-based curriculum and we use
components such as literature, learning centers, music, crafts, art
projects, science experiments, Animated Literacy to teach
letter/sound recognition and field trips to work on specific
skills and build the children's self esteem.
The preschool years can never be recaptured. This is the time when
so much is discovered and absorbed. Everyday there is something new
to wonder and think about, observe and create. It is an exciting
and joyful time. We believe that play is essential to a child's
learning.
Parents are the most influential part of a child's life; through
experience we have seen that the entire family benefits when parents
are involved in their child's education. We will work to build
positive partnerships between the home and school.
We have attached a poem
which we feel helps explain our philosophy and the importance of
learning through play.
