About Us

The P.O.D.O. Club believes that as a child plays and interacts with its environment, it constructs meaning about how the world works. In essence, children take the initiative in managing their own learning.

The P.O.D.O. Club has obtained information from a scientist specializing in neurons that indicates humans experience the fastest development from birth to age six than at any other time in life. Paying close attention to every aspect of a child's development during this critical period is crucial for fostering their learning and developing essential skills, including math and reading abilities. It also fosters the development of qualities such as compassion, strength, independence, resilience, and a love of learning. These qualities may seem obvious, but they are very important for success after preschool. Therefore, it is essential to acquire academic subjects such as reading, writing, mathematics, and science, as well as practical skills including self-control, focus, efficient transitioning between activities, and empathy.

 The P.O.D.O. Club believes in the efficacy of direct experiences for children. Our institution's philosophy is rooted in the principles of John Dewey, and we prioritize experiential learning opportunities for our students. These activities are designed to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and experimentation in a supportive environment.

The P.O.D.O. Club acknowledges the critical importance of early years in determining future outcomes. Among the most important factors in this regard are self-confidence, sound mental health, motivation to learn, and academic achievement.

  The curriculum is based on the belief that children learn through play, active manipulation of their environment, life experience, and communicating with peers and adults. It is designed to facilitate children's involvement in their own learning.

 Thematic Approach

 The P.O.D.O. Club uses theme-based learning to engage children in the learning process. The Weekly and monthly lessons are available in a variety of subjects, including art, music, science, and mathematics. A common theme that keeps children learning is to focus on a broad idea while covering specific knowledge and skills throughout. We believe that using learning activities based on themes is one of the best ways to integrate content in a way that makes sense to students, helps them make connections, and helps them apply what they learn to their lives.
