What: 100% nature and Mandarin immersion fun program!
Our curriculum follows the children’s lead throughout their time at the school. We support and facilitate our students’ learning by providing study units that answer their questions or respond to their curiosity that naturally arise when they play in and with nature. For example, we have answered questions such as “where does the rain/rainbow come from?” (water cycle system); “why can’t we step on snails? (snails’ role in ecosystem); “why birds’ feathers fall?” “where does fog/snow come from?) etc.
It provides ample safe, outdoor free play, with minimum adult intervention, and more focus on encouraging emotional development through children interaction (vs. adult directed conflict resolution).
Where: parks near Bellevue, and an indoor space near Spiritridge Elementary as a backup for extreme weather.
