Kindergarten English Immersion The Kindergarten teachers of École privée Kinderville work as facilitators in the classroom. Rather than dictating the required material to be learned, we enjoy watching our students learn through what is called a “hands-on” approach. In using the academic and social environment we provide, the students are given opportunities to explore, discover, manipulate, invent and create their own learning experiences. One example of this environment is a learning centre. These centres are prepared throughout the classroom, and provide cross-curricular activities based on our weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly themes. Because these activities are geared for the child’s needs and interests, children work in mixed groups of various levels. These centres teach the needed skills and values required throughout a child’s social and academic life. In using cooperative learning, students are not only encouraged to work and learn from one another, but to learn independently and at their own pace.
