Curriculum

Children’s joy and happiness are integral to their learning. At Ordered Steps Learning Center, we encourage fun as a vital part of education, offering child-led activities tailored to each child's abilities and interests.

Reggio Emilia Approach

At Ordered Steps, we are proud to integrate the Reggio Emilia approach, a renowned educational philosophy that emphasizes child-led learning and collaboration. This approach fosters a rich, engaging environment where children are seen as capable, curious learners who actively shape their education. Here's how we implement Reggio Emilia in our preschool:

Child-Centered Learning

We prioritize the interests and questions of each child, allowing them to explore topics they are passionate about. Teachers act as guides, encouraging inquiry and exploration.

Collaboration & Community

Children are encouraged to work together in small groups, promoting teamwork, social skills, and shared problem-solving. Our classroom setup fosters interaction, communication, and the development of social-emotional skills.

Environment as the "Third Teacher"

The physical space is thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity and curiosity. Natural materials, open-ended resources, and interactive displays encourage children to experiment and express their ideas freely.

Documentation of Learning

Teachers document children's learning journeys through photos, videos, and written observations. This documentation helps us reflect on their progress and share their experiences with families.

The FunShine Approach

  • Hands-On Learning: Activities are planned to be interactive and engaging, promoting learning through play. Crafts, games, and storytelling are incorporated to stimulate curiosity and creativity.

  • Ongoing Assessment: Educators document children’s progress through observations and informal assessments, allowing us to tailor activities to meet individual developmental needs.

  • Celebration of Achievements: At the end of each period, children’s work is showcased, reinforcing their learning and boosting their confidence, making the curriculum a rewarding experience for everyone.
