All Around Child Center for Exploration and Development

Overland Park, KS, US • 20 - 49 Employees
Education/Training

A Family Owned, Operated and Oriented Center Serving Children Ages 2wks - 12yrs.At All Around Child, we believe that quality education is built upon a series of emergent relationships with the people, materials, and spaces within the immediate and surrounding community. Every interaction builds a story.Each day at All Around Child your child will create, discover, learn, imagine, interact, experience…in a hundred different ways, with different people, places, materials, and spaces. Loris Malaguzzi, founder of the Reggio Emilia Education system, calls this the hundred languages of children. Through these diverse relationships, your child will develop a story that will last a life time.As a program, All Around Child has consistently offered families a unique home away from home over the years. Our curriculum is strongly based on educational achievement, the development of well-rounded social skills, and an introduction to the arts. Our state-of-the-art facilities are not only child friendly, safe, and inviting but also fun and full of constant adventure. Our philosophy of teaching children is to encourage them to become "World Wise" by introducing them to science, math, literacy, physical education, the arts, and social studies through a hands-on play-based framework for learning. Our program has remained unique because we are constantly being inspired by the children. By their passion to discover something new, to build something beyond their wildest imaginations, and to see that they can do almost anything they want to if they only try. It is that passion that over the years has brought us to the influence of the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education.
