Teaching Philosophy

At The Adventure Begins CDE there are many teaching styles in which your child will learn and grow. Such ways include Direct/Indirect, Open Format, Plan-Do-Review, Child Initiated, High Scope, Montessori and Play Based to name a few. It is our feeling that there is no one particular teaching strategy that is best for learning. Since each teacher brings their own unique teaching ideas and style to the program, they are encouraged to seek elements from each strategy and apply them to their teachings.
