OUR STORY

Giocoso Minds adheres to a holistic approach of early childhood education. When we expose children to different environments and various learning experiences, we allow them to explore their self-awareness and gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Care Care, they’re fully prepared for the next stage of their young lives.

​

 Giocoso Mindsl values open communication and mutual respect, learning through play and inquiry, as well as listening and dialogue. With the mutual support of parents and teachers, children ages 2 years as to 5 years explore an array of materials, tools, concepts, and projects in an environment designed to embrace their individual needs and interests. Because we know that deep learning often takes place within a social context, we support children as they connect with their peers while building relationships of collaboration and reciprocity.

​

We believe a child’s play reveals their theories about the world. By listening with respect and intention, teachers, parents, and children can develop relationships in a democratic community where ideas are explored in depth. Environments are created to extend children’s thinking, and materials are provided as “languages” to express their theories. Time is honored in the context of our school life, and our pace allows children to develop social relationships essential for learning.

Emergent Curriculum

Our curriculum emerges from children’s interests and explorations at school. We  support and guide children during their play, value their thinking and interests, and encourage further inquiry. Through close observation and pedagogical documentation, teachers help to inspire children’s shared inquiries and designs.
