Music and movement activities help children to develop problem-solving skills because the nature of music and the accompanying actions teach children to think sequentially.
A sense of inclusivity and empowerment underpins the Reggio Emilia approach. Children are seen as capable, strong, creative and curious. They’re respected as individuals within a group and are encouraged.
Doug Fargher says that “children who spend time outdoors and connect with the natural environment tend to be healthier, happier, stronger and have a greater respect for the environment.”
Play-based learning is a teaching method that is centred around the idea of children learning through play. It’s similar to how babies learn from playing with their parents. By experiencing the world and exploring it, babies figure out how to get what they want and need in their own way.
The Reggio approach and Montessori method share many of the same common beliefs and are both committed to proactive learning and educating all-round developed children.
When creative learning is applied in early childhood development, it offers children the chance to be active participants in their learning, by fully engaging their bodies, minds, and senses.
In Montessori methods, self-care is any activity that will help a child become independent in taking care of their bodies. Montessori methods teach self-care through learning stations where kids brush their hair, button their clothes or wash their own hands.
While Montessori is known as a popular educational method for preschool children, its principles and main purpose serve the child for longer. The idea of observing the child to determine their needs, and allowing them to follow their interests, are good approaches to consider both in and out of the classroom.
By providing a lovely and warm environment at home, a kid feels that he or she is the most important treasure in the life of parents. Love helps children grow in trust and learn to be thoughtful to other people and the world they live in.
