Question

Mention the main principle of kinder garden method the child centric education.?

Answer 1

Antioch School is a place where play is seen to be the finest natural way of learning. Play is the center from which children learn how to get along with one another, to know themselves, and learn about the world around them. Learning through play and being curious about the world are seen as essential parts of being human. They are to be nurtured for their own sake, and as the foundation upon which a child's continued learning will be built.

Self-Discovery

The Antioch School is a process oriented place, where children discover their abilities, passions, and skills through questioning, problem solving, independent thinking, innovation, and creativity. We believe children love to learn and that this sense of adventure can be lost when a child is pushed to grapple with things they aren't ready for. Children and adults are encouraged to think flexibly. Children learn best when they feel emotionally safe, are challenged, and are supported in their explorations and experiments. The teacher's role is to support children as they try new skills, make discoveries, and take the next step.

The Whole Child

An Antioch School education is holistic. Our program incorporates a natural integration of subjects, providing large blocks of time for exploration and discovery. At The Antioch School teachers know that children grow, and learn, by using all of their senses. Children develop skills through large and small motor processes, as well as thought processes. Children spinning on the tire swing and working on jumping rope are building reading skills, as well as physical ones, and sometimes learning to roller skate is the best way to improve handwriting. Children learn that there are many ways to be smart – emotionally, intellectually, physically, artistically, and many more – and all are valued.
