The Philosophy Behind Little People Kindergarten

Home About Us The Philosophy Behind Little People Kindergarten

“Investing in children today lays the foundation for long-term sustainable development. The early years play a crucial role not only in physical development but also in cognitive abilities and socio-emotional skills. Early experiences are vital in building human capacity, eradicating poverty, contributing to effective economic development, and eliminating social injustices.” – Unicef UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund)

Recent research in education and psychology has underscored the critical role of early childhood education in shaping a child’s lifelong development. Given the rapid advancement of knowledge, are today’s skills and knowledge enough to prepare children for an unpredictable future? What ensures that they remain adaptable in an ever-changing world?

At Little People, we believe that kindergarten should lay the foundation for a child’s character, nurturing individuals who live with integrity, civility, and positive values, both academically and in everyday life. As a crucial preparation stage for future education, this period should instill a love for exploration and confidence in one’s abilities to facilitate lifelong learning. Driven by this belief, we have embraced “Active Learning”, the HighScope approach from the United States, which prioritizes hands-on engagement and problem-solving skills.

“HighScope curriculum is uniquely designed to provide a rich academic foundation while promoting independence, decision-making, cooperation, creativity, and problem-solving in young children. The HighScope Curriculum includes learning objectives, effective adult-child interaction strategies, resources to support teachers with setting up the learning environment and individualizing their lesson plans, and assessment measures that help programs ensure a high-quality experience for all learners.” (Source: HighScope)

Teaching young children is complex and demands expertise across multiple fields, including child psychology, brain development, pedagogy, and caregiving—knowledge that takes years to master. The HighScope educational framework provides invaluable professional support, offering structured strategies and rich resources to help teachers effectively implement this philosophy. A distinctive advantage of the HighScope Kindergarten Program is that its “Active Learning” classroom model does not require extravagant investments in materials. Instead, children are encouraged to engage with open-ended resources, creatively solve challenges using available tools, and develop resilience in overcoming obstacles.

We believe this program aligns perfectly with Little People’s mission—to make modern educational methodologies accessible to parents as they make informed decisions about their child’s education.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in Little People Kindergarten. We invite you to explore more about our programs and look forward to welcoming you in the near future.
