The Kurios Pedagogy

Safety & Relationships

Safety forms the cornerstone of our program, fostering an environment conducive to collective learning. Rooted in psychosocial development theories, I believe that trust and safety are fundamental to nurturing autonomy, initiative, and collaboration. By cultivating playful and collaborative relationships among peers, we enable children to develop a cooperative mindset, engage in problem-solving, and embrace diverse perspectives—essential skills for the 21st century.

The Kurios Programme

Following the establishment of a safe and trusting environment, we introduce the Kurios Programme. Recognizing children's innate abilities to question, reason, think, and make decisions, we observe and support these capabilities through close observation. A hallmark of our constructivist approach is involving children in both planning and reflection. This dynamic interplay of planning, playing, and reflecting fosters continuous growth and learning, illustrating the interconnectedness of these activities.

A Respectful and Confident Lifelong Learner

Our goal through these play sessions is to empower children to construct new knowledge, explore and solve problems independently, and cultivate a curiosity about the world around them. We aim to nurture respectful and confident lifelong learners who are enthusiastic about discovery and respectful of diverse perspectives.

How will class work?

Children will have the opportunity to engage in games and interact with their play mates! We will facilitate discussions on their interests, delving deeply into topics they are curious about. In subsequent sessions, if organized into committed groups, learning may extend beyond the home-base to locations that further enrich their educational experience. For instance, we might visit botanical gardens to study ecology or a supermarket to plan culinary activities. Additionally, children will maintain journals to document their experiences and collaboratively plan future activities.
