The Power of Pyramid Projects

Pyramid projects provide teachers with the framework to structure children's learning, move them towards independence, and maximize their capacity to learn throughout their many cycles of development. Pyramid offers Project Books for three-year-olds, four-year-olds and five-year-olds. Each separate age group contains 12 comprehensive projects on topics that connect across these groups as well as a sequential developmental line integrating all learning domains. This ensures continuity for both short and long-term cycles of learning and allows teachers to collaborate during the planning and implementation of projects.

Projects typically last 3-4 weeks but are sensitively tuned to the interest level of the children. Within each project short-term cycles of learning occur each day through the four-step process of Orientation, Demonstration, Broadening, and Deepening. These steps start close to the child's experiences and gradually take distance so that children are able to develop the abstract representations they will need to be successful in formal schooling.
