"Our goal is not so much the imparting of knowledge as the unveiling and developing of spiritual energy." - The Child in the Family.
The teacher is the facilitator and resource person.
She carefully observes the child's behavior and growth, while often suggesting activities and materials that are appropriate for his/her development and interests. The teacher encourages active, self-directed learning and helps the child balance individual mastery with group participation, fostering, social and language skills. Our teachers are always aware that they serve as role models, setting a positive tone for work, and interpersonal relationships.
"When we think about mixed ages, we must make sure we aren't starving children intellectually or physically ... we should not have a supermarket, but just what is essential." - Discovery of the Child.
