Growing Up New Mexico Early Learning Center at Kaune

Filosofía

Kaune is a warm and welcoming place for children 3 – 5 years old.  Our educators start with a foundation built on relationship and social-emotional learning. We support children in developing the skills they need to work, play, and interact with the other members of our school community. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach of learning, educators create classroom environments that promote curiosity, exploration, and discovery—igniting a lifelong love of learning. Our program has received national accreditation though NAEYC, which ensures programs meet their 10 standard of high-quality early childhood education.

Acerca de nuestro programa

We Believe each child is unique in their experiences, strengths, and perspectives of the world around them. 

We Recognize that a child’s family is a critical component in their development.

We Engage children by speaking their language.  Our Dual Language classrooms aim to provide instruction in both English and Spanish evenly throughout the day. 

We Embrace Anti-Bias curriculum which celebrates all differences. Children are encouraged to be active and curious in their own learning and development.

We Care about creativity. Our classrooms are bright, spacious and include dramatic play, science, blocks, a writing center, book/library area, creative expression and art, math, manipulatives, music, sensory enrichment, and hands-on exploration. All children play outdoors on age-appropriate playgrounds which incorporate organic materials and nature play.

We are Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, which recognizes children’s natural desire to learn through discovery, experimentation, and exploration. Our educators work alongside children as they build upon these interests to develop
classroom projects and areas of study.

We Know that when a child’s joyful curiosity is ignited early, that flame endures even when they are challenged. Valued as strong, competent, and resilient learners, young children who come out of our Reggio Emilia-inspired program emerge prepared for success in school and life.
