Teaching style
While I think that formal education structure is important, I believe that "learning through play" or "learning by doing" is incredibly important. Children learn best when they are given the opportunity to explore and discover their environment and the concepts in front of them. I also believe that adding in physical activity and movement activities into the class schedule is important and helps to build concentration and executive thinking skills. You will find a lot of exploration and movement activities worked into the curriculum I post on this website.
