Bank Street Developmental-Interaction Approach

The Bank Street Developmental-Interaction Approach is an educational method that emphasizes understanding children’s development and interests to foster learning. It encourages active exploration, hands-on activities, and collaborative experiences, recognizing that children learn best when their social, emotional, and cognitive growth are supported together. Teachers observe and adapt to each child's individual needs, creating a responsive learning environment that promotes curiosity, self-awareness, and skill development through meaningful, real-world interactions. This approach aims to nurture well-rounded, engaged learners by emphasizing developmentally appropriate practices rooted in each child's unique growth.
