- Promotes INTELLECTUAL rather than merely ACADEMIC development. The idea of academics focuses on skill building – learning to read, write, and do math. But children are born with a natural curiosity about the world around them and FEEDING that curiosity develops the intellect. Reading great books, talking with our children, and allowing them to experience this world in a hands-on, movement-rich way gives our kids interesting things to think about and is a catalyst to intellectual development and life-long learning.
