Miss Karen's Mission Statement
I desire to help your child love what I teach as much as I love teaching what I know. I am dedicated to providing an exciting, hands-on educational program for children grades 1-6. To accomplish my mission I intend to engage all children in the learning process through multiple educational, age appropriate pathways. Children should be permitted to experiment in science intensively and freely, without worry about a right answer. Innovation is driven by unconstrained exploration and the ability to make connections across things that may appear completely different. Kampers will have an opportunity to explore, try, succeed, and learn from their own hands-on investigations of what we are studying. My hands-on approach to learning will keep the experience fun yet educational. Children learn best by “doing.” There is no such thing as failure, only opportunities for learning.
