Who is a Child?
At Holakids series of inquiries are structured for the whole year wherein children involve and immerse themselves and learn through experiencing. At Holakids our focus is to ignite curiosity in the child rather than instruction.
When we see children through this lens, we begin to listen differently. We move from teaching to children, to learning with them.
What is Childhood? – The Time of Exploration
For us Childhood is a time where children have time for exploration, imagination and discovery.
It is a phase when curiosity takes over the child’s behavior where child is all ready to touch, test and discover.
At Hola Kids, we see childhood as a journey filled with questions “what if”
A puddle becomes a space for science exploration, an outdoor play becomes a story, and pretend plays become serious research.
We curate theme based spaces where children can move independently, make their own choices, and explore with all materials and ideate themselves.
Through outdoor play, pretend play, and open-ended experiences, we let children live their curiosity.
How Do Children Learn?
Children learn by doing.
They try then make errors and then they discover.
At Hola Kids, we trust this learning curve which is very natural.
Our environments are thoughtfully prepared to invite curiosity like the block area waits to be balanced, art area waits for the colors to be mixed, Outdoor area waits for water to flow and mud to touch the hands of childrenTeachers observe quietly, ready to support but never interrupt the child’s moment of discovery.
Each theme gives all possible experience which then becomes the base for contruction of knowledge in the child. Children become curious to think which leads to deeper understanding and connection with the real world.
The HolaKids Way of learning.
Our philosophy at HolaKids revolves around everyday life. Learning and discovery lies in how child pours their own water, clean-up time at the end of the day and how a child comforts a friend. At Holakids children live Independence.
HolaWay of learning id a blend of all known international pedagogies like Montessori, waldrof and reggio. We have art, construction, book and block spaces in every classroom wherein children have choices to make.
Teachers act as facilitators at Holakids. Teachers observe, reflect, document child’s ideas and discovery.
Holakids is a place where Theory meets practice.
We respect each child’s pace, their way of knowing, and their voice.
Our curriculum is not fixed, it is child-led.
This is what makes Hola Kids a space of discovery.
From Learners to Researchers – The Transformation
Holakids trust children to be capable beings, explorer of ideas.
A puddle becomes a space for science exploration, an outdoor play becomes a story, and pretend plays become serious research.
In our theme based classrooms children have endless opportunities and possibilities. Teachers act as facilitators at Holakids. Teachers observe, reflect, document child’s ideas and discovery.
Together the teacher, the child and the parent build knowledge which is meaningful.
This is the essence of our “Learn by Doing” philosophy
Conclusion – The Child as Maker of Meaning
When we start seeing children differently, education transforms.
The classroom fills with inquiry, wonder and courage.
Learning is no more given but created.
At Hola Kids, we celebrate children as thinkers, doers, and makers of meaning – capable of asking every “why” and every “what if” in their journey of learning.
