Maple Bear Canadian Pre-School, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh

Description

Bear Care, the Maple Bear infant program, recognizes that the infant is a capable and active learner. The infant does not need to be “taught” lessons or content. The infant is respected as an already very competent learner, and is allowed, and encouraged, to explore, play, discover and practice in ways, and on a schedule, that best fits his or her emerging abilities, interests, and skills. The Bear Care program understands that strong attachment between the infant and caregiving adults is critical to healthy growth, development, and learning. Infant programs are organized to ensure that environments, experiences, activities, and routines have relationship building as the starting point. The care-giving teacher is the most important part of the learning environment for the infant.
