The educational nature of MHOK is designed with the focus on student learning, not on teachers teaching. The key philosophy is reflected in the phrase, "follow the child." This phrase sums up our instructional/learning environment where the child is presented with activity choices and progresses at his/her own rate of cognitive/neurological and emotional development.
