Frequently Asked Questions

 Eco-Wonderschool embraces a play-based, child-centered approach to learning. We believe that play is the foundation for a child's growth and development, allowing them to explore, experiment, interact, and create. Our curriculum is designed to be responsive to each child's unique interests and needs, fostering their natural curiosity and love for learning. 

 Our school is deeply connected to nature, with a garden where children can plant, nurture, and harvest. We believe that nature provides a rich and stimulating environment for learning, encouraging exploration, sensory development, and an appreciation for the natural world. We also incorporate nature themes into our activities and discussions. 

 We believe that kindergarten readiness goes beyond academics and includes social-emotional skills, self-regulation, and a love for learning. We provide opportunities for children to practice these skills through play, routines, and meaningful interactions. We also communicate with parents about their child's progress and ways to support their development at home. 

 Social and emotional development is at the heart of our program. We provide numerous opportunities for children to interact with one another, learn to share, cooperate, and resolve conflicts peacefully. We also encourage empathy, kindness, and respect for others, helping children develop strong social skills and emotional intelligence. 

  We prioritize activities that encourage children to use their imaginations, problem-solve, and create. We provide open-ended materials that allow for multiple possibilities and encourage children to express themselves in unique ways. We also limit screen time and focus on hands-on experiences that foster creativity and critical thinking. 

   We recognize that every child develops at their own pace and that variations are normal. We closely observe each child's progress and provide individualized support as needed. We also communicate with parents about their child's development and address any concerns they may have. 

   Schema theory describes patterns of thought or behavior that children use to organize knowledge and categorize objects and events. We observe children's play to identify their schemas, such as transporting, transforming, or connecting. By understanding these schemas, we can provide activities and materials that support their exploration and learning in a meaningful way. 

   We believe that a strong community is essential for a child's well-being and development. We encourage family involvement through regular communication, events, and opportunities to volunteer. We also foster a sense of belonging and connection among the children, creating a warm and welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
