At Smallways:

  • We express our love for Christ through the little things—saying grace before meals, praising and worshipping, and fostering brotherly love and respect in all that we do.
  • We use sensory-rich, natural materials such as wood, shells, pinecones, and flowers. These elements inspire creativity and encourage problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
  • Movement is seamlessly incorporated into our daily lessons through exercises, stretching, balance games, obstacle courses, and ball or beanbag activities.
  • Outdoor play is essential for development, allowing children the freedom to explore and move in open spaces.
  • We foster dialogue rather than teacher-directed monologue when exploring themes with children.
  • We encourage discussion, allowing children to develop their own theories and discoveries in exciting and meaningful ways.
  • We integrate science, art, and observation into our learning process.
  • Our teachers are fully engaged in the children’s journey of discovery, acting as partners who walk alongside them rather than merely leading them.
  • We remain mindful of our interactions, continuously cultivating an inspiring and stimulating environment that nurtures both children and teachers, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
  • Children encounter topics multiple times and from different perspectives to ensure deep understanding.
  • Above all, we create a joyful, loving, and safe environment where learning happens through play and fun.
