Fostering Natural Curiosity: The Young Scientist
Children’s innate curiosity makes them natural explorers. Our i-Sci program nurtures this tendency, allowing children to extend their understanding of the world. Science exploration during early childhood cultivates vital skills and thinking patterns that are essential across all learning areas. Our 4-part i-Sci program encourages children to explore, experiment, create, and solve problems, exposing them to different philosophies explaining our world.
Integrative Learning: Science and Beyond
Our science program goes beyond teaching science skills and concepts—it is a platform for children to enhance their observational and problem-solving abilities. By using the scientific method: observing, classifying, experimenting, predicting, drawing conclusions, and communicating ideas, children learn to identify relationships that support science. Additionally, they refine their language and literacy skills through increased vocabulary and continuous questioning.
Cultivating Active Discovery: A Stimulating Environment
The Helen Doron classroom is designed to be a safe and stimulating environment that fosters active discovery. Children learn basic scientific principles, laws, and problem-solving techniques through simple, repeatable experiments. Indoor gardening activities nurture an appreciation for ecology and nature by allowing children to observe changes and phenomena closely.
Transferring Life Skills through Science Learning
Our program nurtures budding scientists and equips children with valuable life skills. As children make discoveries, they apply their emerging mathematical skills, enhancing observation and problem-solving abilities. These skills are crucial in school, work, and everyday life. Moreover, the program fosters self-confidence and enriches children’s language skills through increased vocabulary and opportunities for asking questions.
