Esperanza philosophies: Be organized
A plan of action for each age group is a must! Without a road map, we
would not travel very far.
All age groups have developmental goals, a
strategically designed curriculum, monthly calendars and newsletters from
your teacher, a calendar of events for the school year, a monthly
newsletter from the Director, informative articles and monthly trainings
for teachers. Daily schedules provide the children with repetition and
continuity so they may have confidence in their routine and knowing what
comes next.
Our scheduled Circle Times each day are avenues
for the teacher’s plans to be implemented in a teacher-directed manner.
This also gives the children the experience required later in elementary
school for listening and group activities.
Our Learning Centers are scheduled throughout the
day. These centers include follow-up materials for the theme and academic
goals for the day. The centers are designed so children may manipulate the
materials on their own in a child-directed manner.
We invite you to read about other
Esperanza philosophies that are also essential elements in education.
