It is critical that parents and guardians are involved in the teaching, nurturing and training of their children, and Netzah International School values this collaboration. The resources in this section will empower the parents and guardians to collaborate better with the school as we train the little ones for victory:
The Early Years
The early years are a time of significant development in a child’s life. Personalized attention is extremely beneficial to early learners; that is what sets our early learning programs apart from the rest. At Netzah International School we understand that children bring their own unique talents and gifts to their learning experience. Our teachers know how to help children reach their full potential. During these early years, children learn best through active, engaged, meaningful experiences. Through these experiences, young children construct their own knowledge by interacting with their environments and others.
Specifically, it is in pre-kindergarten through third grade that children learn to read and write, acquire a basic understanding of content areas, and develop important dispositions toward learning. Researchers and educators agree that quality early care and education provides an invaluable foundation for later school and work success. Whether with parents, relatives, or teachers, young children need stimulation and nurturing to support appropriate physical, social, emotional, cognitive and language development.
