The school environment aims to create a place:

• Where children feel secure and welcome.
• Where they have space and time for all areas of learning. They will be involved in choosing how to spend some of their time and make decisions about what, where and how to act.
• Where they have the opportunity to widen their social skills by making new relationships and maintaining them, through being fair, consistent, kind and sharing materials.

School Resources:
We aim to provide a range of resources and a variety of materials:

• Which children can use on their own, in groups, or with adults.
• Which are stimulating and allow for creativity, progression and encourage problem solving.
• Which allow children to experience success.
• Which fully prepare children for starting school.

At Kidsville USA, we take advantage of the fact that all children want to learn about their world and to experience success. Instead of turning the process of learning into a chore, Kidsville, U.S.A. capitalizes on the intellectual curiosity and the creative spirit inherent in every child.

Teachers actively involve students. Students encounter a project-oriented curriculum that enables them to apply facts and concepts so that knowledge is lively and has purpose. Classes are discussion-based rather than teacherdominated.

An average class size of twelve to fifteen students enables teachers to know and understand how each child learns best and to vary techniques to meet the strengths of each child.
