Beliefs -

Beliefs

CMS believes that… *Children have, within them, a natural urge to explore and discover the world around them and find joy in learning when they are actively engaged in the learning process. *Children learn best in an environment of mutual respect and one that provides opportunities for cognitive, social, emotional, moral and physical growth. *Heterogeneous and multi-aged grouping provides opportunities for peer teaching, sharing and natural social development. *Children internalize concepts and skills at their own pace. *Children learn best when competencies are fostered through repetitive, successful experiences and when failures are de-emphasized. *A multi-sensory approach maximizes learning because it provides for individual learning styles. *Children need opportunities to make choices; thereby fostering independence, self-esteem and self-discipline. *Developmental needs of children are universal and transcend cultural differences.
