Sensorial

Children ages 3-6 learn through exploration using their senses of sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.  The sensorial curriculum trains and sharpens these senses through isolating one sense enabling the child to better discern similarities and differences. This heightened sensory perception and awareness opens a wider door for learning in all areas of the environment. Language is integrated into all sensorial.
