Our Philosophy

Empowering Children with Our Reggio Inspired Approach

Our Philosophy

Our Mission

Our mission at Little Scholars Academy of Kannapolis is deeply rooted in providing a nurturing and welcoming environment that inspires children to become active participants in their own learning journey. Guided by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, we view children as strong, powerful, and rich in potential, recognizing them as integral members of the community.

At LSA, we prioritize empowering children to explore their curiosities and inquiries, fostering respect for themselves and the world around them. Central to our philosophy is the belief that children should play a leading role in their education. We embrace their innate curiosity, encouraging them to question, research, and grow.

Our teachers act as co-learners, observing, facilitating, and deepening children’s explorations. We provide ample time and space for children to think, create, and make connections at their own pace, allowing for a flexible schedule that supports individual projects and learning journeys. Childhood, to us, is about exploration and discovery, and we strive to cultivate an environment where children can flourish, make independent choices, and develop a sense of belonging within their community. 

Mission Of LSA

Our Philosophy

The programs at Little Scholars Academy of Kannapolis are inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education. This unique approach to education offers an environment geared towards the child and holds an image of children as being strong, powerful, rich in potential, and integral members of the community.

Children should be treated with the same respect as adults – honoring their choices and
inspirations. We believe this approach allows your child to reach maximum potential,
nourishing their curiosities and inquiring minds, and guides them in growing respect for their own self and the world around them.

 

At LSA, we believe children should be active participants in their own education. The curiosity of children makes them question and research the reasons for all that surrounds them. Children are driven by the power of wanting to grow, and nurtured by adults who take this drive towards growth seriously. The teachers are viewed as co-learners, observing, facilitating, deepening, and reporting children’s explorations.

 

Childhood is about exploration and discovery. Children are given ample time and space to think, explore, create, and make connections on their own time.

 

Children learn to make independent choices as well as how to be members of a community. With young children, time is almost suspended, so our schedule is fluid and elastic. Materials are left out at the end of each day in case children need several days to complete their projects. Teachers do not push to finish a project or conversation, but plan to finish tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or next week.
