Traditional schools just stick to the curriculum while imparting learning to their students. These schools do not focus on developing their students’ interests, skills and passions. Consequently, they are unable to develop their students’ individuality, creativity and personalities. With no interests and passions of their own, they are unable to lead a quality and constructive life and remain unconcerned about the community’s needs.
Educators feel concerned about this disturbing pattern and feel it needs to be halted and replaced with an innovative and fruitful learning approach that emphasizes on developing individuality and creativity in students. By motivating children to explore, discover and learn things in an interesting and playful manner beginning at an early age, educators can enable children to become passionate towards learning throughout their lives. By doing this, educators support children in becoming constructive and thoughtful citizens of tomorrow and enable them to lead fulfilling and purposeful lives. KLA Schools Walnut Creek has already stepped into this direction and is enabling children to take part in enriching, meaningful and innovative learning experiences in their preschool years. Deeply influenced by the Reggio Emilia Approach, KLA Schools provide a supportive, relaxing and home like environment for children which motivate them to explore and discover while cultivating their interests. Here they learn through a self-guided curriculum. KLA Schools Walnut Creek organizes Before And After School Programs which grant children opportunities to participate in various interesting, fun-filled and meaningful experiences including activities and games. These experiences are conducted by certified and prepared instructors. By participating in them, children are able to develop their physical and artistic abilities. These activities are documented and thus provide children opportunities to reconstruct and revisit their ideas, feelings and understandings at a later time. Parents too can access this documentation which makes them aware of their child’s experiences and learning processes. KLA Schools’ classrooms are uniquely designed in terms of their look and feel, in order to guide children towards exploration and discovery. In their Art Class For Kids, children come into contact with a variety of natural and man made materials which they explore, experience and learn more about. This boosts children’s understanding about these materials and they are able to express their experiences creatively and spontaneously. They are also able to differentiate one material from the other. To further nurture children’s interests, KLA Schools provides a supportive, relaxing and home like environment which acts as a third teacher for the children apart from their parents and teachers who are their first and second teachers respectively. At KLA Schools, teachers fill multiple roles including that of a co-learner, observer, facilitator and researcher while supporting children in their learning. Guidance and motivation provided by teachers help to invoke children’s curiosity and promotes their developmental and learning processes. KLA Schools also invites parents to actively participate in their child’s learning process. KLA Schools fosters cognitive, linguistic and social development of children by granting them opportunities to participate in various meaningful and enriching learning experiences. It promotes their development by providing them a home like, secure and supportive environment. Teachers, parents and the community are all contributing towards children’s development at KLA Schools. The quality and innovative learning provided here is instrumental in building up children’s interests and passions. This enables them to become responsible and thoughtful citizens in their coming years as well as lead constructive and vibrant lives.
