Approach To Learning
Play-Based
At The Olive Branch, we believe in the importance of play in Early Childhood. We understand and advocate that play is never a “disguise” for real learning -- play is learning! Inspired by the works of great psychologists and researchers such as Erik Erikson and by our knowledge of Developmentally Appropriate Practice, The Olive Branch Community School is committed to ensuring that our youngest children are able to play with intention and fervor, as this type of play is at the core of developing strong, kind, smart, and healthy young people.
