Learning

We aim to build a framework for understanding what numbers mean by creating number sense, using tools like IXL, Number Sense Routines, Math through Art, Workstations, and Beebots. Math will also teach the fundamentals for chess. This helps children develop analytical and decision-making skills, as well as the ability to recognize complex patterns.

Synthetic Phonics is a Reading program with a balanced approach that integrates reading, writing, spelling, and phonemic awareness in conjunction with relevant language activities.

We teach using Handwriting Without Tears (HWT), an established approach that addresses different learning styles with developmentally appropriate lessons that break down difficult concepts into simple tasks.

Our Science program implements STEM Education, which incorporates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics knowledge in the play experiences of children. Science will also include coverage of Food Sciences and Nutrition, taught by our Chef.

The second language is taught through story, music, rhymes, finger plays, movement, and sensory experiences. Children are given tangible experiences that help them link new words to actual experiences.

Our Orff-inspired program is designed to introduce our children to instruments, melody, rhythm, and pitch while learning music through ear (hearing).

The goal of our program is to provide the children with opportunities to practice their public speaking skills, establish polite and socially acceptable etiquette, and understand the importance of being a member of a community that respects the opinions and ideas of others.

A play-based approach to Yoga at Redwood encourages children to take calculated risks while engaging the body and mind. The class will include yoga postures and stories, breathing exercises, and meditation.
