Our Curriculum.

The Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education views young children as individuals who are curious about their world and have the powerful potential to learn from all that surrounds them.Educational, psychological, and sociological influences are important factors to consider in understanding children and working to stimulate learning in appropriate ways.Teachers employ strategies such as exposing children to a wide variety of educational opportunities that encourage self-expression, communication, logical thinking, and problem-solving.

Five Significant Reasons For a Preschool Education

1. Brain development is highest during the first four years of life. The brain is forming important neural paths to help development of the child's ability to perform and function and learn well. Children are able to learn at a rapid rate and want and need to learn new information. We hear many teachers and parents remark that at this age their child's brain is like a sponge.

Their brain absorbs information and stores it, often feeling saturated with new input (another important reason your child needs at least 10 hours of sleep). But that is precisely one of the functions of the brain. Your child can benefit immensely when interacting in a quality preschool which is content rich with appropriate information and materials.

2. Going hand in hand with brain development is the next significant reason i.e. Structure. This is vital for the young preschooler and the child thrives in a loving, structured environment with stimulating colours, sounds, textures, classroom layout, varying activities and books. The child learns routine and expectations and begins to look forward to the next activity.

Their little brains help them process these codes of familiarity and it gives the child a sense of security and belonging. Once they are settled into the structure and routine of the preschool classroom, it begins to build a solid framework for their future school career which will be much more structured and demanding.

3. Social skills are next on the list and they are important to learn at this age rather than waiting until Kindergarten age or later. One of the reasons older children may have difficulty in school is that they never really learned the social skills in preschool. Social skills such as learning how to listen, nice talk, brave talk, taking turns, acceptance of multi-cultural differences, apologies, when to say please and thank you, how to speak in a group, helping each other, learning compassion and empathy.

There are so many rich opportunities for a child to develop social skills and every Kindergarten teacher we ever communicate with always lists these as being the most important skills to learn in preschool. It is important that a child learns early that the world does not revolve around him alone, and it helps the child learn that we live in a world full of many different kinds of people.

4. Academics are now being emphasized more than in past years because there is more research substantiating that a child is able to learn and perform more than what we used to expect. Also, there are more academics in the preschool curriculum now because the schools expect a child entering Kindergarten to know what once used to be taught in kindergarten.

Are all children going to learn to write letters well at the age of three? No. But given the opportunity to have a writing centre with all different kinds of writing utensils and paper, the child will begin to strengthen his fine motor skills which are needed to learn how to write properly. Most kindergartens expect the child to enter school knowing how to print the alphabet, numbers 1-10 (some 1-20), write their first and last name, display basic social skills and have an ability to comprehend and follow directions.

5. Last and not least on why preschool is important is the needed space it gives you as a parent to work or have time to pursue interests, hobbies, friends as an adult in your adult world. As a parent, one still needs to grow and learn and give to the community if that is something you enjoy doing. The child needs this time away from his parents and home to learn about the world, about people, about accepting others, making new friends. Children learn trust and independence. Mom can't always be there doing everything for the child.

When given the opportunity to do things on his/her own or with a group, the child is learning important work attributes that are necessary in his future. In many work places people work together in teams and depend on each other to contribute and know how to do a team project. And there are opportunities for the child to learn how to work on his own, at his own pace, making his own expectations and goals. The preschool setting can be that strong foundation for a successful school/work career making it easier to enjoy a fulfilling life.

In Conclusion

We hope this has helped anyone who is thinking about placing their child in preschool or already has their child in preschool and that it will better help us understand its importance not only on the child's life, but on society as a whole. Preschool teachers, in our opinion, are the world's unsung heroes. They do an extraordinary amount of work and good for our world as the children are any country's greatest asset. We are building the future together. A quality preschool education can be one of the greatest gifts we can give our child. Thank You.
