About Our School
Alia’s curriculum is a developmental-based program concerned with the development of the whole child, emphasizing social, intellectual, emotional and physical growth. At Alia, the teachers carefully plan open-ended and child-directed activities and emphasis is placed on the value of play, learning environments and developmentally appropriate materials and activities. Our philosophy is that children learn through active and child-initiated play, through direct contact with concrete objects, through repeated positive experiences, and most of all, they learn through interactions with people who are important to them.
Our parents are encouraged to use their special talents during their teaching time at school to make our school a nurturing and safe environment for the children. They can help the child use inductive thinking by using such encouragements as “I wonder what would happen if...?” or “Where do you suppose this came from?” By doing this, the parent shares the child’s wonder and enjoys the newness of discovery along with him. Parents are scheduled through a rotation of parent-teacher jobs including art, cooking, creative play, music and movement, outdoor supervision, observation and special projects.
