THE CLEMATIS FLOWER,

portrays as the Queen of the Vines, is chosen to portray the Alam Atelier Child as it represents wisdom, mental agility, and high intelligence.

Its capacity to climb around walls and trellises, reaching for the sky, shows optimism and the determination to realize its full potential and dreams. Clematis are clever flowers that are adaptable and resilient, becoming more beautiful and impressive with age. The Japanese saw it as a symbol of moral beauty. Purple Clematis symbolizes beauty, elegance, grace, and unfailing love. This is our hope for the Alam Atelier child.

Our Philosophy

We believe that with intentional and mindful weaving of the learning environments and respectful relationships, children are nurtured to be independent, resilient, and creative global citizens as we partner with families in a community of learners.

Aspiring global citizens need to develop problem-solving skills, make decisions,
think critically, communicate ideas effectively and work well with others.

The Child

Engaging with the nature enhances the emotional, intellectual and physical development of a child

The child is strong, capable and competent

The opportunity to learn through “100 creative languages” promotes a child's well-being and cognitive development

A child is capable to contribute to his own learning and understand complex concepts through their own investigation and exploration.

A child thrives when surrounded by joy and wonder

Each child is allowed to learn at his own pace

Children are investigators, researchers and are active learners

A child's learning is not set by the clock, it is not interrupted but continuity is encouraged as they keep extending their learning.

Our Educators

Educators are our most valuable resource and deserve the respect of the community

Educators are reflective observers of children's learning at play and are listeners of children's thinking, which enables them to facilitate an emergent curriculum based on children's interests.

Educators undergo continuous learning and development.

Educators are mentors and nurturers, guiding children to explore their interests through setting up of learning zones and provocations to evoke creative exploration and discovery.

Educators develop positive relationships with the child enabling them to understand the child's learning preferences and interests, creating goals catered to the child's individual needs, and crafting responsive extensions for the child's learning.

Reggio Emilia-Inspired Approach

Relationships
The 100 Languages Of Children
Project Work
Documentation

The Reggio philosophy is based upon reciprocal, respectful relationships which emphasize the valuing of the opinions, viewpoints and interpretations of others and the importance of adults and children learning together. (Thornton & Brunton, 2015)

Relationships are crucial and fundamental for children's learning and development because they provide children with a sense of security, trust, and belonging. When children feel safe and supported in their relationships, they are more willing to explore, take risks, and engage in meaningful experiences. Positive and respectful relationships among all stakeholders also foster empathy, respect, and cooperation, as children learn to communicate, collaborate, and problem-solve together.

Relationships also refer to one between the child and the physical environment, called the "third teacher," as it is intentionally designed to inspire and provoke children's curiosity, exploration, and engagement. The use of natural materials, open spaces, and flexible learning areas encourages children to interact with their surroundings, fostering a deep connection and understanding of the world.

Documentation

The “100 Languages of Children” signifies the myriad ways in which children communicate, learn, and express their thoughts and ideas, and encompasses a wide range of modes of expression and communication. Some of these languages include:

Art: Children express themselves through various art forms, such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage.
Music: Music and rhythm provide a way for children to communicate and experience emotions and creativity.
Movement and Dance: Physical movement, dance, and physical expression are important forms of communication for children.
Drama and Storytelling: Children engage in dramatic play, telling stories, and role-playing to express their ideas and emotions.
Construction and Building: Through building blocks, clay, or other materials, children create and communicate their ideas.
Nature and Science: Children explore and experiment with the natural world, fostering curiosity and understanding.
Writing and Literacy: As children develop their literacy skills, writing and reading become essential languages for communication.
Technology and Media: In the modern context, digital media and technology have also become languages of expression and exploration for children.
Collaboration and Social Interaction: The interaction and collaboration between children and adults are important forms of communication.
Symbolism and Representation: Children use symbols and representation to convey their ideas and thoughts.

By acknowledging and valuing the "100 languages of children," Alam Atelier promotes a holistic and child-centered approach to early childhood education, where the child's innate curiosity and creativity are central to the learning process.

Projects are not pre-planned by the teachers but are child-led, as they follow the interests of the children. The project work is an inquiry-based model that may include Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM). It is also a play-based model that enhances literacy, numeracy, creativity, and social-emotional skills, which are essential for the holistic development of the child.

Project work uses imaginative, innovative skills, research, hypotheses, and investigation, often in real-world scenarios. Children gain important knowledge and practical skills when they solve challenges and problems that they encounter in their project work. Critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, and self-management skills are enhanced.

Documentation

Documentation is making learning visible, promoting communication and collaboration, and supporting assessment and evaluation processes.

We carefully curate, display, and document children's thoughts and progression of thinking, making their learning visible in many ways: photographs, transcripts of children's thoughts and explanations, visual representations (drawings, sculptures, etc.). Through documentation, children's learning, areas for development, skills, strategies, processes, interests, strengths, and understandings are made visible and shared with children and families to enable them to interpret, reflect upon, evaluate, and co-construct the meaning of experiences.

Communication and collaboration between teachers, parents, and children is enhanced through documentation. It invites dialogue and the exchange of ideas about learning experiences. It allows children to reflect on and present their learning to a wider audience, helping to build their communication skills and confidence.

Documentation also acts as a form of assessment and evaluation. It helps educators assess children's development, understanding, and capabilities. It provides evidence of children's learning outcomes and helps educators make informed decisions about their teaching practices.
