General Information
At Barefoot Atelier, the Kindergarten Program offers a Progressive Educational Approach, a blend of Reggio-inspired and project-based learning. In the context of our intentionally designed environment, children are offered broad experiences in areas such as literacy, science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics and social emotional learning. The Kindergarten program shifts from an “emergent” curriculum to a “negotiated” curriculum. This “negotiated” curriculum allows and encourages children to work in collaboration with their teacher to create a new path of knowledge exploration and discovery indoors/outdoors. Children are allowed the right to build their foundation based on their own interests, creativity, and individuality. This foundation paves a strong path for future learning.
