Children's School
Private School in Boise, ID
The Children's School of Boise is an independent, non-profit institution. It was established in 1980 for kids 3 to 8 years old as an educational program which emphasizes self-discovery of the world as the most important teacher. Affective (emotional) development is seen as equally important to cognitive (thinking) development. Both function simultaneously to determine what is learned. Since the early 1900's this approach, known as Developmental Interaction, has evolved through research and analysis at Bank Street College of Education in New York City.

read moreOur small group settings, excellent teacher-child ratios, a balance of teacher-planned and child-initiated activities help young children develop competence and confidence as learners. As we celebrate over 40 years, we once again affirm the value of children growing and learning in our stimulating, nurturing environment from toddlerhood through second grade. Although I expected my children to learn and to make new friends while they were at The Children's School, I never expected to learn so much and make so many new friends myself!
Curriculum
read moreFirst there is involvement with open-ended materials or play. Play is the backbone of early childhood education. At TCS play is worthy of our closest teaching attention and we support it in happening in every classroom, from the Youngest Preschoolers to the Primes. There is a period of time each day in each classroom when children are able to make choices from the open-ended materials teachers have chosen for them. Examples of open-ended materials are blocks, manipulatives, or art materials-materials that children make decisions about how they will be used.
