Discovery Learning is a program that provides opportunities for children to learn naturally through play. Student interest drives the investigations, which teachers connect to the curriculum, reinforcing and supporting students to engage more deeply in literacy, numeracy and science concepts . A developmentally appropriate transition from kinder to school, Discovery Learning has an aim of fostering collaboration, accentuating student voice and cultivating creativity, encouraging students to ask questions and explore solutions. When we do this, children learn not only by watching, but by doing. The result: children not only consume resources and knowledge, but also create them.

“Each time one prematurely teaches a child something they could have discovered themselves, that child is kept from inventing it and consequently from understanding it completely.” - Piaget
