Be Above provides a safe, healthy learning environment that stimulates curiosity and joy in learning. Be Above believes that childrenβs play provides the foundation for academic learning (βChildren learn best through playβ). Play is the βworkβ of young children. The philosophy that guides the program is that young children learn best by doing and that parents are childrenβs primary teachers.
βWeβ believe that parents and teachers must work together in order to support the development of young children.
βWeβ believe that learning is not simply repeating what someone else says; it requires active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work and to learn firsthand about the world we live in.
To provide children with these experiences we provide the necessary enrichment materials and environment to foster their learning in school and at home.
