Our Approach
It’s hard to imagine how much children can grow in just 18 months! One minute, they need all the care and attention being the parent of a baby demands. The next they’re walking, talking—and occasionally? Driving you a little crazy.
At this age, it’s natural for a child to be fussy, stubborn and more than a little hard headed. That’s why they need additional encouragement and activities to develop burgeoning social skills and tolerance. Our Discoverers program is designed to foster both their sense of self esteem as well as patience and inclusivity. Because at this age, self awareness needs to be tempered by mutual respect.
While our weekly lessons are planned in advance, there’s plenty of spontaneous activities at Imagine Nation. Our teaching methods are based on enthusiasm and personal focus, and we extend that same passion to your child’s growth. This allows our teachers to get to know each child’s strengths and weaknesses so they can personalize each lesson to be more inclusive and enjoyable for all our children. The introduction of The Beginner’s Bible, our biblical curriculum that introduces children to the main characters and narratives of the Gospels through stories and activities. Frog Street Curriculum, a child centered program that emphasizes all areas of development, including social and emotional skills and self-confidence building exercises.
Each daily report we provide for you will update you on their learning in addition to meals, naps, toilet training and daily activities.
