Move Away From the Table and onto the Social Playground!

Research in the field of child development shows us that knowledge and learning are stronger when the context and purpose are known to the child. The more choice a child has in what is being learned, the more intrinsically motivated the learning. Given this, we pair developmental models with each child's own set of strengths that avoids a pre-fabricated set of objectives.
