The Old Fashioned Way

Sometimes parents wonder what their children are learning while they are at school. When children bring home commercially produced worksheets, it's easy to tell what concepts they are being taught at school. At School for Little Children, we firmly believe that young children learn best through their senses and that if we give them experiences they will learn what they need to know. Worksheets do not provide experiences or information through the senses. Instead we give the children TIME and MATERIALS. They are the creators of their own experiences.

Imagine. If we had given the children worksheets, would we have gotten this...
or this??
We do it the old fashioned way. Children learn through play.
