Constructivism is a theory of education based on research conducted about how children learn.  Constructivists believe that children learn best when they are able to freely explore their environment.  The teacher's role is to facilitate learning by planning child-directed curriculum. Teachers ask open-ended questions to engage the child's curiosity, encouraging scientific exploration and problem solving. The preschoolers at TigerSide are able to construct knowledge about their world through play and meaningful interactions with the peers and adults in their lives.

TigerSide teachers are trained in Project Construct curriculum and assessment.  TigerSide teachers also complete professional development classes throughout the year in subjects like social/emotional development, cognitive development, gross and fine motor development, and inclusion, continuing their commitment to being life-long learners.
