Learning Zones

SAC Learning Zones are the core of SAC daily activities, letting children decide their own path from a choice of seven zones. Learning centers offer many advantages:

  • Children make choices based on their individual interest
  • The purpose of each zone is clear and understandable to the children
  • Teaches children independence and problem solving
  • More programming can be added to each day's schedule
  • Children feel in control and have a voice
