Atikali Learning Lab is an Early Childhood Education and Development institution that provides, firstly, a nurturing, safe, and child friendly environment for our young learners to imagine, explore, create, invent, and ultimately understand their world! We seek to provide world-class immersive education experiences that defy traditional teaching. An education that engages, inspires, and empowers every learner by creating a more holistic and dynamic approach to learning, through an integration system, focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, Mathematics, and the natural environment. 

 

The Learning Lab will provide a beautifully disruptive education experience, transforming the traditional model of education to one more focused on creating a STEAM focused, student-centered, inclusive and innovative learning environment. That is, one that inspires curiosity, fosters creativity, and encourages critical thinking skills. We believe that every student has unique talents and interests that should be nurtured and developed through personalized instruction based on progressive and adaptive approaches to teaching and learning. We believe that education should be accessible to all children regardless of their background, abilities, or learning style. Therefore, we strive to create a diverse and inclusive learning community that celebrates individual differences and promotes tolerance and respect for others. Children can begin their journey with us from birth, until they transition into Primary education at 5 and a half years old. 

We encourage our students to explore their interests and passions and develop skills and knowledge that prepare them for the future. We also recognize the importance of technology today, and we integrate it seamlessly into our teaching and learning practices. We aim to equip our young learners with the necessary digital literacy skills to navigate the digital world seamlessly and safely in a developmentally appropriate fashion. Our school will give students a well-rounded curricular experience that includes a strong emphasis on their social-emotional learning and children’s sense of well-being. It is in these interactions that their literacy/linguistic, numeracy/mathematical, scientific, social, and emotional understandings develop and remain activated.

 

Atikali- an ancient word meaning ‘to understand’, is at the heart of the goal of education; to move humanity to a shared understanding of our world! We believe that children learn best when they are actively involved in their own learning, and our immersive approach encourages this by facilitating hands- on experiences that connect classroom learning to the real world. At Atikali Learning Lab, seeking answers to the question WHY is the goal of our adoption of the world-renown Creative Curriculum. This curriculum is premised on the belief that children are active participants and agents in their own
