Our Philosophy
At Tinker Village
We believe in the importance of the principles for creating excellence in a learning program. Our philosophy comes from Mr. Jean Piaget a psychologist and epistemologist known for his pioneering work in child development.
Mr. Piaget’s theory on adaptation of instruction to the learner's developmental level was that learning has to be consistent with the developmental level of the child. Providing opportunities for learning, exploring and experimenting on their own, allows them to discover and learn, so it promotes new understandings. Opportunities that allow children of different cognitive levels to learn and work together encourage younger children to move up to a more advanced level of understanding, thinking, and learning.
Another level of instruction is the use of tangible "hands-on experience” for children to learn. Providing the child with props and visual aids, materials to build, explore and create, games that involve math problems, problem-solving, mixing and adding of different ingredients and materials to classify and group information, presenting problems that require logical analytic thinking. Without a doubt, Piaget made a lasting contribution to the field of developmental theory. However, the relevance of his work clearly expands beyond his immediate theory of cognitive development to affect psychology, sociology, and other fields as well. His work remains the most important source for understanding and envisioning the elaborate study of child cognitive development.
