Project Based Learning at Kensington School

Children are naturally inquisitive. They observe, ask questions, and love investigating the world around them. From sensory project-based learning with toddlers to beginning project-based learning in Preschool Prep and collaborative project-based learning for our Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten (Junior Kindergarten) classes, this child-centered approach encourages a child’s intellectual curiosity with focused, hands-on explorations for all ages.
