Choosing the best kindergarten for your child can be a daunting task. Public school? Private school? Each one comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. Clearly, the goal is to determine which environment will best meet the needs of your child.
At The Learning Palette, experiences and environment are tailored to meet each student’s unique needs and stimulate learning in all developmental areas.
Our exceptionally small class size (fewer than 12 students) allows for personalized instruction in a way that is impossible in a classroom of 22+ students. In practice, this means each child has an opportunity to read with the teacher every day. Students receive timely feedback on their work and spend minimal time waiting for teacher’s assistance if they experience difficulty. Those with exceptional capabilities have the opportunity to progress at an advanced pace, receiving support and encouragement at each step. Smaller class size also allows the teacher to implement a developmentally appropriate curriculum for the students.
At The Learning Palette, students spend the majority of their day actively engaged with manipulative materials, allowing them to construct knowledge from experiences that are meaningful to them. We guide the children’s inquiry in a way that requires each child to stretch him/herself, thus children experience a classroom in which they are more autonomous - able to make more decisions for themselves and have more opportunities to work individually or in small groups.
Compare The Learning Palette kindergarten to any other program, public or private. You will quickly find that our concern for and preparation of Learning Palette students is unsurpassed.
