At The Child Day Schools, children are being challenged in new and interesting ways through our project webs.

A project web comes to life as an idea or question that is sparked by the current interests of the children. The group has a discussion to uncover what is known, or what they would like to know about this idea. From there the teacher guides the children in creative activities to discover and obtain the answers to their questions, that is they acquire new knowledge. (Therein lies the learning process which we use throughout our lives!)

Our teachers have been extremely creative in providing a wide range of age appropriate activities, and materials that reinforce the children's learning related to the project web subject. Young children genuinely understand and learn when they work on a subject in depth, just as older children do. Keep in mind that the time and depth of a project will also depend upon the age group of the children.

On the linked pages above we have focused on some of the project webs and activities that children have engaged in at our schools during the last school year.
