Today\u2019s children are growing up in a technological era filled with huge possibilities for a better future. Information technology and more specifically, Internet technology are transforming the character of life and work. At Linkonlearning, we believe that education is the Internet\u2019s true purpose. Our program harnesses children\u2019s fascination with technology and fuses it with education. By combining curriculum with sound, images, and interactive lessons, we provide children with an exciting educational experience.<\/p>\n
Basic Tenets<\/strong> 1. Every child is unique.<\/strong> 2. Children should be allowed to learn at their own pace.<\/strong> 3. Parents are the cornerstone of their child\u2019s education.<\/strong> Consistent parental involvement fosters achievement and emotional well-being. Study after study confirms the importance of parental involvement in their children\u2019s education. When parents are involved in their children\u2019s education, and show support of learning in the home, school and community, children do better and go further. A home environment that encourages learning is more important to student achievement than income, education level or cultural background.<\/p>\n 4. Understanding a child\u2019s development is key to his\/ her success.<\/strong> Many factors are crucial to a child\u2019s healthy development\u2014positive social support from family and friends, positive experiences and good nutrition being three significant elements. Children need the support of people who will act as a buffer between them and life\u2019s ups and downs, help make sense of life and serve as a protector of brain development. Since sensory input into the brain creates neural pathways, and lack of input results in pathways disappearing, parents should be very interested in creating happy, life-affirming experiences that nourish spirit, soul and body and result in a lifetime of well-being.<\/p>\n 5. Fundamentals come first.<\/strong> 6. Learning can be fun and educational at the same time.<\/strong> 7. Access to education should be equitable.<\/strong> “We partner with parents in their children\u2019s education. For our part, we provide outstanding lessons, a caring and supportive staff, and a safe, fun and interactive learning environment.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today\u2019s children are growing up in a technological era filled with huge possibilities for a better future.

\nThe Linkonlearning program is based on the following tenets:<\/p>\n
\nOne of the greatest discoveries parents make is the fascinating diversity of life. Not only are children different from their parents, but also no two children are alike. Each child is uncharted territory and every child brings to the world distinct, special qualities. Children possess their own characteristics, temperaments, interests, gifts, learning styles and unique blueprint for development.<\/p>\n
\nSince every child is different, with his or her own timetable for development and learning, children should be allowed to learn at their own pace. In terms of education, growth and achievement should be emphasized, not competition. Forcing a child to grind through a prescribed educational stage, whether she or he is ready or not, can leave a child disengaged, disheartened, disenchanted and, in some cases, left behind or held back.<\/p>\n
\nParents who are actively involved in their children\u2019s learning help their children become more successful learners. According to United States Department of Educational Statistics, children exposed at an early age to reading and phonics by their parents are ten times more likely to graduate high school and complete at least one to two years in higher education.<\/p>\n
\nUnderstanding the stages of development can make parents an ally of their child\u2019s success. Much has been written on the normal stages of human development, and it is essential for parents to be informed. That information helps parents to understand what to expect from their child, though it is important to keep in mind that time frames are averages and some children achieve developmental milestones earlier or later than the average but are still within the normal range.<\/p>\n
\nEducation is the key to achievement and success. Linkonlearning has an extensive curriculum with courses in reading, writing, spelling, language arts, mathematics, arithmetic, science, history and geography. Moreover, Linkonlearning employs rote-learning methods as these methods, historically speaking, have been proven effective for the majority of learners. These traditional methodologies are combined with state-of-the-art technology providing unlimited opportunities to read and interact with the lessons. The lessons are effective for those with learning difficulties and advanced learners.<\/p>\n
\nLearning can and should be fun, and not tedious and boring. Education should not have to compete with fun and entertainment. At Linkonlearning, technology has been fused with education in such a way that children often repeat a lesson because they enjoyed it so much. The library and recess area are packed full of activities that, as far as the children are concerned, are designed solely for their entertainment. The truth is, however, that they were designed to educate while entertaining.<\/p>\n
\nEducation is fundamental to the success of an individual, a community and a nation. We believe, therefore, that access to education should be equitable. Every child deserves a solid education regardless of family circumstance. Linkonlearning strives to keep the cost of its programming affordable so all students can develop a sound foundation for future learning.<\/p>\n
