GENTLESWING EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM
PHILOSOPHY

Holistic Development:  The GentleSwing curriculum is designed to foster holistic development in children, encompassing their physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and creative aspects. Through a balanced approach, children are encouraged to explore and develop their skills in various domains.

 

Child-Centered Learning: The curriculum is centered around the individual needs, interests, and developmental stages of each child. Activities and learning experiences are tailored to cater to the unique learning styles and preferences of every child, promoting active engagement and meaningful learning.

 

Play-Based Approach: Play is at the heart of the GentleSwing curriculum. Children learn best through hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and meaningful interactions with their peers and environment. Play-based activities are carefully designed to stimulate creativity, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

 

Inquiry-Based Learning: Inquiry-based learning is encouraged to spark curiosity and critical thinking in children. Teachers facilitate open-ended questions, investigations, and experiments, allowing children to explore their interests, ask questions, make discoveries, and construct their understanding of the world around them.

 

Emphasis on Emotional Well-being: The GentleSwing curriculum places a strong emphasis on supporting children's emotional well-being and social development. Strategies such as mindfulness practices, conflict resolution skills, empathy-building activities, and positive reinforcement techniques are integrated into daily routines to nurture children's self-awareness, self-regulation, and interpersonal relationships.
