Our Programs

Though the programing of Kids Growing Strong program focuses on four areas of education: Health and Nutrition, Science Education, Gardening and Personal and Social Development, the content is presented in terms of daily-life skills that enable each child to easily build a foundation for a well-rounded life. Programs are soundly rooted in the principles of basic science and integrated into the humanities at every opportunity. Grounded in the fundamental topics of Strong Bodies, Strong Minds and a Healthy Lifestyle, program activities are designed to construct an integrated framework of knowledge and experience that children can build upon throughout their lives.

Science

Kids Growing Strong presents children with ideas and experiences that can help them form a strong foundation in scientific principles and the scientific process. To learn the scientific method is to learn strategies to develop good judgment, formulate rules, test ideas and detect bias. These same strategies are beneficial for a successful personal life. Teach kids how to think, how to evaluate and judge, how to process information and how to decipher rules and conclusions about the world. and they will have a better chance to make a good life for themselves. The ability to accurately present ideas and reasons is the foundation of clear thinking. They will be armed with a powerful set of tools that will last them a lifetime.

Humanities

Without beauty, emotion and inspiration, life is nothing but an integrated system of chemical processes. It is the humanities, literature, art and culture, that breathes meaning, excitement and energy into human life. No discussion of a healthy lifestyle would be complete with the humanitarian aspect. Therefore, Kids Growing Strong uses every opportunity to weave art, crafts, storytelling, history, character and culture as well as the sheer beauty of life into the every lesson and every activity we present.
