Creative Explorations is a learning institution built to nurture and support the development of children. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia pedagogy and theorists, John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky, we have designed a socioconstructivism curriculum fostering the belief that knowledge is constructed through interactions and relationships with others and the environment.
We appreciate the importance of experiential, interdisciplinary education and believe children learn best through immersing themselves into their natural world where they are free to inquire, explore, and reflect. The environments at Creative Explorations are valued as the “third teacher” and will challenge the children socially, physically, and academically through deep levels of engagement in: literacy, math, science and engineering, arts and humanities, outdoor exploration, health and wellness, and community outreach and citizenship.
We believe a child who has been emotionally supported, while fostering and developing their own curiosity and creativity in their early years of development, will become stronger problem solvers, hold higher respect for each other and all living things, and will choose sustainable living throughout life. With this foundation, children will continue to be kind humans, accomplished and unbiased learners, and bring positive change to our society.
