Program Method
We at Future Thinkers wants to provide a wholesome learning environment, in which children are exposed to all aspects of the learning spectrum. Future Thinkers combine a play based learning environment with an adult directed learning environment; in which the child gets exposed to both self-exploration and guided learning. At Future Thinkers, your child will have the opportunity to explore and grow, create and discover, make connections and build relationships with his or her peers, and become confident learners in both exploration and academics.

Curriculum
At Future Thinkers Preschool and Childcare we focus on each individual Child. Our curriculum stems from the philosopher Regio Emilia. The Regio Emilia Approach is an educational method for early childhood education that emphasizes children's curiosity and independence.” In our curriculum we focus on Seven key aspects of learning and development:
1. Child-Centered: We see children as capable and creative learners who are driven to explore and connect with their peers and others.
2. Interest-Based: Our activities and curriculum are based on children’s interest.
3. Collaborative: Teachers and parents work together to support children’s learning.
4. Multi-Sensory: Children express themselves through art, language, physicality, and other forms of communication.
5. Problem-Solving: Children are encouraged and taught to work together to investigate and solve problems.
6. Academics: Language, math, and science are incorporated in each part of their lessons so they can excel in their academics.
7. Documentation: Children’s learning process is documented. This helps teachers discuss milestones with parents, make plans of improvement, and make sure we provide proper early intervention, so all children are excelling in their growth and development.
Through our tried and tested curriculum, we have seen Children develop social skills, build confidence, enjoy learning, develop a love of learning, and prepare them for school.
