Kensington Kindergarten

Learning and teaching programs are built around knowledge about children’s development; their linguistic, social, emotional, aesthetic, spiritual, creative, physical and cognitive ways of knowing. They are purposeful and appropriate to the child’s current thinking, interests and ways of learning. Activities should encourage children’s autonomy, intellectual risk taking, responsibility and control of learning. Effective teachers use a variety of strategies, including explicit approaches with whole-class, small-group and individual encounters.
