Our Learning Philosophy has been developed and fine-tuned through 35 years of lived experience, lessons on the job, and higher education.

At Chandler's, we believe that the early years of a child's life are the foundation for a lifetime of learning. Our learning philosophy is grounded in the understanding that every child is a unique individual with their strengths, interests, and pace of development. We aim to create a nurturing and stimulating environment that fosters a love for learning and exploration, laying the groundwork for a successful educational journey.

1. Holistic Development:

We recognize that a child's development extends beyond academic achievements. Our approach focuses on the holistic growth of each child, encompassing cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Through a balance of structured activities and play-based learning, we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who are confident, curious, and compassionate.

2. Play as a Vehicle for Learning:

Play is a fundamental aspect of early childhood development. We view play as the child's natural language for self-expression and exploration. Our curriculum integrates purposeful play to enhance creativity, problem-solving skills, and social interactions. From imaginative play to hands-on activities, we believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.

3. Individualized Learning Paths:

Recognizing that each child is unique, we embrace an individualized approach to learning. Our educators observe and understand the distinct strengths and interests of each child, tailoring activities and lessons to meet their specific needs. This personalized approach allows us to celebrate and support the diversity of learning styles within our community.

4. Parental Partnership:

We consider parents to be essential partners in a child's educational journey. Communication and collaboration between parents and educators are integral to understanding each child's progress, challenges, and achievements. We encourage open dialogue, and regular updates, and involve parents in various aspects of their child's learning experience.

5. Creating a Safe and Inclusive Environment:

Chandler's is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and respected. We celebrate diversity and promote positive relationships among children, fostering an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding. Our goal is to create a community where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.

6. Lifelong Love for Learning:

Above all, we aspire to instill a lifelong love for learning in each child. By nurturing their natural curiosity and providing a supportive environment, we aim to cultivate a foundation that will inspire a passion for knowledge and a commitment to continuous learning throughout their lives.

7. Technology-Free Learning:

We believe in the importance of allowing children to engage with the world around them without the constant presence of screens. Our learning environment is intentionally designed to be technology-free, providing children with opportunities to develop essential social, emotional, and cognitive skills through hands-on experiences, face-to-face interactions, and real-world exploration. This approach encourages a deeper connection with the physical environment and promotes the development of creativity and imagination in an authentic, screen-free setting.

At Chandler's, we believe that education is a journey, not a destination. Together with parents, we are dedicated to laying the groundwork for a bright and promising future for every child in our care.
