Philosophy of Education

I believe that all children can learn and each child learns in their own unique way. The environment that best nurtures this learning provides concrete, hands-on experiences so the learner can construct their own understandings. In addition, discourse (verbal descriptions) and reflection are integral components to enhance the learning process. Seymour Papert said, “Children learn by doing and by thinking about what they do.”
