Project-Based Learning Environment

Projects start at any time, throughout the year, and last for as long as it continues to capture children’s attention, they at times may also result from spontaneous events and problems. It is highly unlikely that two classes will ever be working on the same project at the same time as we are dedicating to embracing children’s unique interest and dreams.  At the beginning of a new project, each ECE/Teacher creates their own individual project brainstorm –this is a chance to think creatively, about this new concept. .  Based on the children’s responses, ECE’s introduce material, questions and opportunities that provoke children’s further exploration. Children than take over during the project and the curriculum matter begins to emerge. ECE’s prepare weekly plans on where the children want to go next within the project. These short-term plans will include clear objectives, enhanced provision opportunities, specific differentiation, etc. Projects can vary in length from a few days to several weeks depending on the children’s engagement.
