Our philosophy combines many early learning approaches with use of technology to create the best environment possible for young children. While we align with most of Montesorri’s principles, additionally, we believe collaboration, communication and socialization are very important elements for young children. Children work in teams and collaborate on experiments, problem-solving puzzles and dramatizations. This differs from Montessori’s independent and individual approach. Want to try it out?

The FasTracKids Preschool Five C’s Advantage
Critical Thinking
Every FasTracKids lesson gives your child an opportunity to think through and answer problem-solving activities. This process of thinking trains students to analyze assumptions, come up with alternatives and make educated decisions. Critical thinking is an increasingly important component as students advance to college and in their professional life.
Collaboration
We know that children at this age learn best socially by being with a group of peers. Our collaborative classroom environment offers your child the opportunity to work with and learn from other students. This unique opportunity develops skills in organizing and planning, working collaboratively with others, giving and receiving feedback and evaluating their own learning. FasTracKids’ exercises help your child understand how to work as part of a team, improving their leadership abilities as well as cooperative skills. The collaborative classroom empowers your child to become a lifelong learner as they join with others.
Creativity
The FasTracKids methodology empowers your child to expand and hone their creativity. Multiple opportunities arise in the classroom for your child to find and share creative solutions. Your child is continually encouraged to be constructively curious, which enhances cognitive development. Exposure to multiple subjects provides children with the opportunity to explore knew leanings and use their creativity in high level thinking situations. Our programs are the gateway for your child to think creatively, convey their thoughts and problem solve.
Communication
All FasTracKids classrooms are language rich environments where children hear and respond to stimulating conversation. This continuous interaction with advanced concepts lays a foundation for confident communication skills. Children are encouraged to speak in complete sentences in order to relay complex thoughts. Many programs in our FasTracKids Learning System give your child the opportunity to deliver a presentation that is videotaped and evaluated by peers.
Confidence
The FasTracKids methodology provides a positive atmosphere in which we focus on how children are improving instead of their wrong answers. This constructive environment builds a child’s confidence as they successfully complete projects as individuals and in groups. Continued attempts at success allow them to take on challenges without the fear of failure. As your child becomes responsible for their own learning, FasTracKids programs cultivate their sense of achievement and pride with positive reinforcement.
