OUR PHILOSOPHY
The ALC Albemarle Learning Center has a strong focus on learning through play. Each activity, book, game, field trip, community visit and other awesome ALC opportunities, has been planned with one purpose in mind, "learning." The ALC contends that "all" children can and will learn, will be loved and feel loved.
The idea of ALC derived from the desire to be a leading force in assisting with the development of young children in the Albemarle Area. Founded by an educator, the ALC's goal is to be the leading child care center in the area. While using the Creative Curriculum, each child will be given the opportunity to grow, express and work at his/her level. Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences conveys the spirit of the ALC. Whether your child learns through Visual-Spatial or Linguistically, we will meet them where they are, with what they have, and discover what encourages them to be great!
You will enjoy your child's experience at ALC, "Where all Flowers Bloom!"
Which type of learner is your child?
Visual-Spatial - think in terms of physical space, as do architects and sailors.
Bodily-kinesthetic - use the body effectively, like a dancer or a surgeon. Keen sense of body awareness. They like movement, making things, touching.
Musical - show sensitivity to rhythm and sound. They love music, but they are also sensitive to sounds in their environments. They may study better with music in the background.
Interpersonal - understanding, interacting with others. These students learn through interaction. They have many friends, empathy for others, street smarts.
Intrapersonal - understanding one's own interests, goals. These learners tend to shy away from others. They're in tune with their inner feelings; they have wisdom, intuition and motivation, as well as a strong will, confidence and opinions.
Linguistic - using words effectively. These learners have highly developed auditory skills and often think in words. They like reading, playing word games, making up poetry or stories.
Logical -Mathematical - reasoning, calculating. Think conceptually, abstractly and are able to see and explore patterns and relationships. They like to experiment, solve puzzles, ask cosmic questions.
