🌱 The Power of Yet
At Gardenia, we teach children to say, “I can’t do this… yet.” That one little word — “yet” — is the heart of what psychologists call a Growth Mindset.

🌱 Fixed vs. Growth Mindset: What’s the Difference?
Children with a Fixed Mindset believe their abilities are set in stone — “I’m just not good at this.” But children with a Growth Mindset understand they can improve through effort, practice, and learning from mistakes.

This mindset shift doesn’t just help them succeed academically — it shapes how they approach challenges, handle setbacks, and keep trying in every part of life.

🌱 How We Build Growth Mindset at Gardenia
Every aspect of our curriculum is designed to reinforce a Growth Mindset. Teachers use positive language and feedback that focuses on effort, strategy, and progress — not just results.
From solving STEM challenges on No Book Wednesdays to creating posters about saving the rainforest, children learn that failure is just a stepping stone to mastery.

We even use neuroscience principles — helping children understand how practice strengthens their brain’s “pathways,” making them stronger learners over time.

🌱 Why It Matters
Children with a Growth Mindset are more resilient, more confident, and better equipped for an unpredictable world. That’s why at Gardenia, we don’t just prepare children for the next grade — we prepare them for life.
