OUR SERVICES

ON-SITE VISITS AND CONSULTATION

We figure there may be one, two, three or more areas you may need consultation on. Intermarc works closely with your team on a diverse set of needs: establishing a new space, rehabilitating an existing centre, conducting professional development sessions, carrying out a comprehensive needs assessment, advising on spatial layout both indoors and outdoors.

TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS

You come to us, or we come to you!

We organize workshops throughout the year that is open to all teachers, practitioners, researchers, parents, advocates, students in the field. This is an opportunity for all to network, teach, learn and explore.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Moving away from the traditional approach to teaching and learning, Intermarc focuses on the ‘whole’ child within its program implementation; the child’s emotional, social, physical, intelligence/cognitive development.

The physical environment is part and parcel of the program development to embody the 'whole' child.

COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Intermarc offers comprehensive school management services from start to finish: Design and construction management, financial management, professional development, program development, program assessment & evaluation, quality monitoring & support, and operations management.

EDUCATING YOUNG CHILDREN TO INSPIRE LEARNING

Inspiration for learning occurs when the educational and physical set-up are aligned. Children need to be empowered and inspired to learn. While all our support is based on context specificity, our approach is in line with the global need for a child-centered approach to learning. Requests for services may differ, but the outcomes aim to satisfy our clients – ultimately, the children.
In line with Intermarc philosophy of respecting the rights of the child, educational guidance focuses on:

Recognizing the child’s natural capacity to problem-solve and create an environment that nurtures it
Allowing the child to discover him/herself within his learning environment and creating an educational environment that fosters learning
Involving the family of the child, to ensure a holistic approach to child’s education
Emphasizing the “facilitator” role of the teachers to empower children in their learning process and parents active engagement and involvement
Creating an educational setting that is context specific in line with the needs of the community within a holistic approach to early childhood education
