Why Choose Little Scholar Preschool?
The Little Scholar framework for all instructional levels is based on the Orton-Gillingham teaching approach, and focuses on the following four principles:
- Multisensory: Each lesson is planned so that visual, tactile, and kinesthetic techniques are used throughout the lesson to meet the needs of all children.
- Sequential: All lessons follow a specific order and build on a child’s growing knowledge. Educational research indicates that children learn best when they are exposed to a concept and then guided to build purposeful knowledge around it through intentional sequences of lessons.
- Prescriptive: Each lesson is designed with three learning levels in mind— early, at grade level and above grade level— so academic instruction can be tailored to the individual child’s needs.
- Focused on Positive Attitude of Learning: At Little Scholar, we use several strategies to build confidence and positivity around learning, including spiral review of previous topics, full-body response, and arts and movement incorporation. When children find confidence and joy in learning, they grow to become lifelong learners. Positive experience is a core component of the Little Scholar framework.
