About the Program:
Christopher Robin's inquiry-based educational approach has roots in social constructivism and the idea that knowledge is gained through experience. As such, our school is play-based and our curriculum is driven by the children's interests within a structured, routinized environment to ensure that the children feel safe and comfortable taking risks essential to fostering deep learning.
We believe each child is unique, capable and autonomous.
This foundation of respect and understanding is an important starting point for all learning experiences. We are inspired by the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy and our teachers view themselves as collaborators, encouraging problem solving and connection among the children.
The community and school environment are additional 'teachers,Ó supporting our educational values. We regularly document the children's ideas and activities to use in curriculum planning and for meaningful reflection by teachers, parents, and the children themselves.
