Our Philosophy
The Knolls Learning Studio’s philosophy is based around the image of the child; we understand that all children are capable, competent and creative. We promote learning in a holistic way without the restrictions often imposed by subject boundaries. Our educators focus their attention on the way each individual child learns, what their interests are and then mold an exciting and engaging curriculum for our young learners to thrive in. Our philosophy supports an emergent curriculum with the belief that children learn most effectively through a play-based and child-driven approach, one that is built off their own unique skills and curiosities of the world. Nature-based learning is essential as we believe the natural outdoor world supports young children to thrive and grow. We encourage children to unfold and develop their own personality in an atmosphere of understanding and stimulating guidance. As a Reggio-inspired practice there is not a one-size-fits all when it comes to learning and our ultimate goal is to inspire life-long learners and happy humans.
Early Childhood Education
Children of all ages learn best through the ability to explore free expression through play. As educators, our goal is to provide an environment that is not only physically safe but emotionally safe. We promise to give our all to help support each child in reaching their full potential by provoking their natural curiosity and their innate ability to learn. The Knolls Learning Studio offers Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Pre-K and Transitional Kindergarten programs for children in Agoura Hills and surrounding communities where they learn to enhance key development areas.
Our Curriculum Focuses On:
Physical Development
Social/Emotional Development
Cognitive Development
Language Development
These Areas of Development Are Enhanced by the Power of Play!
Education is not a product or goal to be attained, rather it is an ongoing process of growing and learning and doing. Through a coupling of experience and reflection we evolve and transform. While change can be unsettling, it can also invigorate and inspire ones being—particularly when resulting from purposeful, open-minded reflection. Reflective practice is at the heart of both learning and teaching at The Knolls. As we explore new possibilities and approaches, guided by our own research and that of the larger education community, we are continually reconstructing and refining our program. Thus, our learning process as educators mirrors (as well as shapes) that of our students. As John Dewey said, “Education is not the preparation for life. Education is life.”
