Curriculum:

Wonder and how that translates to the process of learning.

Children are curious and wonder is the act that begins our learning process. A child’s creative expression is how they communicate that with us and how our instructors nourish the learning process. This is the beauty of a child-centric approach. We as teachers are engaged in learning from our students as much as they are in learning from us.
