The bank street approach

The Bank Street Approach focuses on both the intellectual and social-emotional development of children. It arranges the learning environment into conventional interest areas that are clearly defined yet allow flexibility. The curriculum is integrated around unifying themes and is designed to help children master their school environment while extending learning into the community. Teachers play both teaching and guidance roles by recognizing each child's abilities and making appropriate adjustments to help develop their sense of self.
