GENERAL PHILOSOPHY

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CLASSROOM

READ THE FINE PRINT YAY-AND NAYSAYERS COMMENTS

Academic/ Traditional (The “No Philosophy” Philosophy)

Rigid, academically focused curricula are conducted with the teachers in charge. Kindergarten readiness is the goal along with traditional academic skills such as phonics, letters, numbers, time-telling and everyday etiquette.

Teachers determine the course of the curriculum and the day’s events. Schedules are firmly followed, silent time often enforced and while there are recreational activity areas, free play is not the focus.

More “reading, writing, ‘rithmetic” than the other options, these schools stress tangible, traditional skills, such as sitting quietly, playing nicely, following instructions, and completing tasks, with a primarily academic focus, less of an emphasis on social emotional development.

Experts say that children in academic preschools often learn math and reading at the expense of their social skills. This can be devastating to their self-esteem. Is it too much, too soon? The academic pressure can produce anxiety in the child, so why not add a little more play?

Montessori

Children are taught to achieve a sense of order and establish independence, self-esteem, and confidence while fostering learning at their own pace. Interactions are usually within a mixed-age group.

Task-oriented activities emphasize skill-learning such as ABCs or sweeping. Toys are designed to teach practical lessons, such as a necklace with beads for counting and learning colors, for example.

Strict Montessorians are said to discourage fantasy play and artwork. However, more and more Montessori schools are becoming more liberal in this regard.

Children are not encouraged to particpate in unstructured play. Rather, they are asked to follow a correct order and process for each activity.

Based on the belief that children learn best though experimentation and free play, teachers do not apply pressure to keep up with other children. Socializing and group activities are encouraged.

Children play with blocks, sand or water tables, or dressup costumes during imaginary play. Letters and numbers are integrated throughout the classroom in developmentally appropriate ways and are introduced only if children express an interest.

Encourages children to indulge their high spirits, so classes can be messy and loud (not necessarily a negative factor) as children make choices and lead their play. Children are encouraged to ask questions and learn based on their individual developmental needs.

Naysayers would not agree with two or three-year-olds running the show. What some parents love (the noise, the clutter, the getting down-and-dirty), others find intolerable. Those who do not understand developmentally appropriate practices are often heard saying “all they do is play.”

Reggio Emilia

Children in Reggio-inspired programs learn through experiences of touching, moving, listening, seeing, and hearing, all while building relationships with other children and materials. Children explore endless ways and opportunities to express themselves.

Encourages young children and their teachers to explore, question, and discover in a stimulating environment. Teachers document children’s progress taking photos and notes. Children’s individual interests direct their activities; focused instruction in reading and writing is not provided. Art is used as symbolic language.

Children are not corrected in the Reggio Classroom. If a child believes in the tooth fairy or that rain comes from a pitcher in the sky, the teacher will not correct these assertions.

Waldorf

The philosophy behind Waldorf Education recognizes that children have distinct, age-related educational and emotional needs according to their naturally unfolding stages of development. Daily and cyclical rhythms are stressed; schedules are followed closely. Television and computer games are discouraged.

Waldorf educated children learn primarily through imitation and imagination. Kids play with nature and natural products, such as wooden blocks and cloth dolls. Play-doh is eschewed in favor of bees-wax. Conventional toys are banned but twigs, rocks and leaves are to be found in the classroom.

With its classrooms abuzz with the chatter of gnomes, fairies, and other imaginary creatures, Waldorf in the Literacy is not stressed, as wrong hands can turn into these schools believe children New Age for the underaged. are not developmentally ready Parents who switch their to read until the age of seven. children from a Waldorf program to another school may find that their children run behind in reading and math.

Parents play an important role in educating their children and must take an active part in their schooling.

Mostly owned by parentmembers, the schools employ trained teachers and directors chosen by the parent-members. Parents frequently assist in classrooms and manage fundraising, administrative tasks, and building upkeep.

Though parental participation is a central tenet, some coops offer parent “buyouts” for an extra fee on a limited basis for those unable to meet time and duty commitments.

Developmental /Progressive

Parent Co-Op

Some would say that the time it takes to document and record children’s progress comes at the expense of direct interaction. However, the Reggio approach allows children to acquire skills of critical thinking and collaboration, and we at Whole Kids Adventure are fans!

Some co-ops don’t allow caregivers to pich in, and many parents say that they’re really tired about having to fundraise for their school.

inancial planning is important for all families, but families with a special needs child or dependant have additional items to consider in the planning process. Traditional financial planning includes retirement, college education, life, health and disability insurance, long-term care planning, tax strategies, estate planning and daily cash flow management. Families with special needs children must not only plan for all these, they also have the added concern of providing for their loved one after they die. While traditional financial planning usually entails meeting with a financial advisor as well as legal and tax professionals, a family with a special needs child may need to bring in additional resources, including medical professionals, caregivers and private or governmental social service agencies. It is important to remember that professionals will come and go over the years, so you will have to be the focal point of the team and the planning process, as you are the constant in your child’s life. STEP 1: IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE GOALS. Begin by visualizing what you want for your family today and after you are gone. While it may be difficult to define specific goals, you can start by imagining your child’s future living arrangement, employment, medical and social needs, and degree of self-sufficiency.

Talking to friends, family and advisors about your specific concerns may make it easier to narrow down the options. Prioritizing the goals as short-term, intermediate or longterm can help you start to create your own special needs planning timeline.

DID YOU KNOW... The brother’s Grimm were in fact not primarily storytellers, but linguistic researchers. They found that the easiest way to get German country folk to provide samples of their local dialect was to ask them to tell a story.

Whole World Illustrated By: Christopher Corr Sung By: Fred Penner BAREFOOT BOOKS $10

This delightful book comes with a music CD and it follows the popular children’s song The Whole World. Sing around the planet, from high in the mountains to low in the valleys, in every town and every city, and with all the fish and birds, trees and flowers! The book includes a section at the back that has eco-tips for reducing our contribution to Global Warming. Loved the CD and all of the beautiful pictures.

R is for THE RED BALLON! A Balloon’s Adventure. By A. Lamorisse BookPeople $15

This magical book has become an enduring children’s classic. The Red Balloon is the story of a little boy and his best friend—a bright red balloon—who set off on an adventure through the streets of Paris that ends in a triumph of imagination and wonderment. Little Pascal, a young Parisian boy, shinnied up a lamppost to unite a large red balloon. Pascal’s mother was cross when she learned that a balloon had made him late in arriving home, so she tossed it out the window. But the red balloon stayed close to Pascal. In fact, everywhere that Pascal went, the ballon was sure to follow. Full page photographs and large sized text tell of Pascal’s pursuit by bullies -- and how they destroyed his balloon. But at that moment, all the captive balloons in Paris converged where Pascal stood. Up, up, up, they went with Pascal in tow to take him around the world. Based on an award winning film, this offers lovely vistas and close-ups of Paris and leaves so much room for you own creative interpretations!

Robles and Puharaj grew up in Guatemala and Dubai, but have fallen for Austin and made it their home. They are excited to add their artistic vision and international flair to the fabric of the city. Their jewelry can be purchased at Estilo boutique at 234 West 2nd Street or online at www.alessadesigns.com. Alessa Designs is thrilled to be here, and we are fortunate to have them. !"#$%&'()*+,+ | -./01234%0351%670189/: | 29

Efficiency, pure and simple! WKL staff and readers collected some small ideas that add up to save you time and expense while you go about your day.

HAND-ME-DOWNS

Everyone loves the wardrobe circle of life. Start a clothing swap with your friends by arranging a playdate. While the kids entertain each other, moms can unload clothes they’re tired of onto the dining room table and choose what they want to take home. Try this seasonally, when closets get cleaned out and reorganized, and don’t forget to swap kids’ and dads’ clothing too!

JAPANESE FABRIC ARSENAL

Furoshiki, a traditional Japanese cloth, is a reusable, eco-friendly wrapping device that can be used as apparel, a tote, or a decorative wrapping device. At furoshiki.com/techniques, you can find clear sketches of the dozens of ways these cloths can be used in and out of the house.

BABY-GEAR ON

SIZING YOU UP

How often does a partner think to buy a nice gift but can’t remember the right size? A solution is found in www.evernote.com, an online storage space for these otherwise easily lost details. Notes can be accessed by cell phone, too!

VACATION READ THE LABEL Most airlines now charge for baggage. If you’re going to pay anyway, why not travel lighter? Baby gear is available to rent at www.travelingbabyco.com

It’s hard to be ingredient conscious and organized at the same time. If you can’t or don’t want to effectively store labels and product information notes, just go to www.whatsinproducts. com when you need to know what exactly makes up your favorite moisturizing cream.

SALVAGE THE OVERSALINATED Have you ever been forced to throw out a meal after accidentally dumping in too much salt? If making soup, chili, or sauce, place a whole, raw potato in the pot and simmer. The potato will soak up the excess salt and you can extract it later.

D I Y LOOK! NO HANDS! You are ecstatic over the arrival of a newborn in a loved one’s household, and you want to give a meaningful gift even though money can be tight. What the parents and infant will truly treasure is a gift lovingly crafted with your own two hands. Not the creative type? We recommend Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing for Baby: 20 easy projects for newborns to toddlers.

Typical users of hands-free devices include business travelers who worry us while they appear to talk to themselves. It seems, however, that the efficiency outweighs the silly image. Get all your time-consuming calls out of the way while on the road while keeping your hands off the device. Buyers should look for comfort and sound quality. We recommend www.sennheiserusa. com.

COLOR ME SOMETHING Dried out markers get their life back with this trick. Place several drops of vinegar in back end of the pen, let sit overnight, et voila! Do you have a box of crayon stubs and broken bits? Teach your children the invaluable lesson of finding a fun new use for things others that others may throw away. Get out a muffin pan and let your kids unwrap the broken crayons and arrange them in the muffin cups. Bake the concoction at 350 degrees until the wax looks smooth. Once the pan cools, have your kids pop out the new rainbow crayon discs they just made!

POT-LUCK BY PROXY Take turns with the other parents preparing your toddlers’ lunch or snack for pre-school. In a group of five families, everyone is in charge of one day. By making five healthy, delicious portions one day, four days a week your to-do list is one item shorter.
