At FCS, we embrace the spirit of the whole child — recognizing that children learn and develop across many domains: physical, social, emotional, aesthetic and cog- nitive. Through this integrated approach, children are free to use their natural curiosity and imaginations to build the foundation for a lifelong love of learning. Learning about the world and relationships through imaginative, creative play Empowering children to discover their physical selves by spending lots of time outdoors—rain or shine Cultivating an appreciation of beauty through nature and art Embracing seasonal changes with songs, stories, art, handwork, puppet shows and festivals Slowing down the pace of everyday life and allowing children to be children.
