Building Blocks is centered on one simple principle:
Enriching Active Learners

• Developing critical thinking skills
• Developing intellectual curiosity and wonder
• Encouraging children’s personal interest
• Cultivating nature love

Our curriculum is inspired by internationally renowned Reggio Emilia Philosophy. Our approach acknowledges children as capable active constructors of knowledge and places emphasis on the learner’s curiosity, interests, sensory experiences, surroundings, and social relationships. In the child’s early formative years, children form their own “hundred languages” of expressing themselves and have numerous ways of thinking, exploring, playing, speaking, and doing. Building Blocks Teachers act as documenters, observers, and researchers, to support children’s learning while our classroom and outdoor learning act as a “second and third teacher”.
Being intentional and responsive to stimulate the senses of every learner and unleashing their innate creativity is what our curriculum focuses on. Fostering creativity through the work of young hands reflects the values we want to communicate to children. Our guiding principles allow us to focus on the whole child, empowering their thoughts, questions, interests, and in turn confidently fostering a lifelong love of learning.
