Children are free to explore and learn within the limits of a prepared environment.

Over time children begin to gain self-descipline on their own.

Overview

Children are capable of integrating aspects of the world around them through the use of their senses.

Children are free to explore and learn at the same time in the hopes that they will learn fundamental life skills that will create responsible adults with a love for learning

Childrens environment should be carefully constructed to allow students to sense their learning with materials and tangible objects. Teachers play the role of a facilitator to the children.
