Our Goals...

Welcome to Kid’s Country! It is our goal to provide your child with the best opportunities to become a successful learner.

To do so, we are planning classroom activities and experiences that will allow the children to express they many ways in which they are smart. This dynamic approach is based on the theory of Multiple Intelligences, developed by Dr. Howard Gardner, a psychologist at Harvard University.

Dr. Gardner has identified the following eight intelligences:

  • Linguistic (Word Smart)
  • Musical(Music Smart)
  • Logical-Mathematical (Number Smart)
  • Naturalist (Nature Smart)
  • Spatial (Picture Smart)
  • Interpersonal (People Smart)
  • Bodily-Kinesthetic (Body Smart)

What this means is that in our classroom, your child will learn not only through reading, writing, and math but also through music, art, building, moving, engaging in outdoor learning experiences, interacting with other children, thinking and reflecting.

Since children exhibit these various ways of learning at different levels of ability, we will try to match learning experiences with their various ways of “being smart”.
