Grow Studio
Children are much more engaged learners when they are interested and invested in the subject matter. That's why, in Grow Studio, we don't have teachers we have guides. Our guides are facilitators and observers providing materials, prompts, and support for further inquiry and investigation. We closely watch and gather information on the children's passions and then create thematic units inspired by what we see. We also develop emergent curriculum based on the academic and social needs of the children—making sure that math, literacy, science, social studies, and social and emotional development are integrated into the learning.
