Welcome to Mrs. Brennan's VPK!
"Children should be able to do their own experimenting and their own research. Adults, of course, can guide them by providing appropriate materials, but the essential thing is that in order for a child to understand something, he must construct it himself, he must re-invent."
Jean Piaget, 1972
I am very excited for the upcoming school year! We will be using a play based curriculum focused on creating intentional, developmentally appropriate experiences for our students. This curriculum supports state school readiness standards, which mirror the National Association for the Education of Young Children's (NAEYC) guidelines. We will be spending time learning not only in the classroom, but in the outdoor environment as well, and our students will participate in well planned, organized and scaffolded play experiences.
