At LPNS, we believe that play is an essential part of the learning process for children. By providing purposeful activities, we give children the opportunity to be engaged in the learning process, using all of their senses to gain knowledge and experience. We understand that a balance between active and quiet activities, small and large group activities, and self-directed and teacher-directed activities is essential in order to foster a rich learning environment. Our teachers plan activities that can be adapted to the individual needs and interests of each child. Through this approach, we create a safe and nurturing environment that encourages children to be independent and gain a sense of accomplishment.
