SPECIAL PROGRAMS FOR BIG LEARNERS

At aMaysing Care, we implement special programs for advanced learning. This can enhance children's educational experiences and cater to their diverse needs.

1. Montessori Program

2. Reggio Emilia Approach

6. Nature-Based Learning

- Incorporates outdoor exploration and environmental education. Children learn about nature, science, and sustainability through hands-on activities.

7. Mindfulness and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)

- Programs that focus on emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and mindfulness practices to help children develop social skills and emotional resilience.

8. Arts Integration

- Incorporates visual arts, music, and drama into daily activities, fostering creativity and expression while reinforcing other learning areas.

9. Coding and Robotics

10. Community Service Projects

- Engaging children in age-appropriate community service helps develop empathy, social responsibility, and a sense of community.

When implementing special programs, it's essential to ensure that they align with developmental milestones and the interests of the children. At aMaysing Care, we provide training for staff on these programs that will enhance their effectiveness and ensure quality learning experiences for your child.
