The Little Giants Curriculum
Learning Experiences (0-36 months)
Little Giants' education is based on the theories on child development by the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, children learn most effectively when they do things on their own. Therefore, we see children as active learners, who learn best if they they choose, plan and carry out activities on their own and reflect them later.
Long-term studies show that programs that support active learning positively influence the personal and social development of children. Adults, who attended such programs in their childhood, have shown to be socially and professionally more successful.
Active learning is the centerpiece of our curriculum. Beginning to grasp our world, children discover new materials, ask questions, seek answers and solve problems. Following their intrinsic drive for discovery, children become active making important key experiences. The Little Giants caregivers support children during their explorations and provide comfort when necessary.
Children need love and affection without being limited in their exploration. Finding the right balance is the task of our caregivers. Therefore, we select our employees very carefully and educate them in regular training sessions.
Active learning experiences have to be planned in way that sparks the child's interest and that builds on existing knowledge and skills. In monthly sessions we plan activities and experiences, in which the children can participate. If children have no interest in taking part in one particular activity they are always welcome to do something else. In order to interest every single child, our caregivers adapt activities to the children's interests.
At they age of three, children should have made several key experiences that are divided in ten categories:
