Fostering creativity and innovation through design thinking

One distinctive aspect of their curriculum is the emphasis on developing Design Thinking skills through a unique play-way methodology. Design Thinking is a problem-solving approach that places a strong emphasis on empathy, ideation, and iteration. It encourages individuals to think beyond conventional boundaries, promoting a holistic approach to finding solutions. Key Elements of Design Thinking at Flamingo Kids:

Empathy in Action
Creative Ideation Sessions
Hands-On Prototyping
Iterative Learning Process
Collaborative Projects

– Cognitive development involves engaging preschoolers’ thinking skills through reading books that promote aspects of cognition such as reasoning and problem solving. In preschool years, children attempt to explain how things work and why things occur. While their explanations can often seem far-fetched to adults, their stream of how and why questions display a real desire to reason and solve problems about the causes of events.

– Personal, social and emotional development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings, to understand appropriate behavior in groups and to have confidence in their own abilities.

Play-dough creations or creations made with art supplies. It involves children narrating imaginative stories, acting out stories with dolls, animals or other toys, and using language for creating and sustaining plots and story enactment.
