Early Childhood And Benefits
Of early years!
Early Childhood classroom and exploration of learning centers in the classroom encourage;
- Fine Motor Development: used to increase small
muscle development. This may include manipulating puzzles, drawing,
coloring, painting, beading and manipulating print materials.
- Cognitive Development: used in our interactive learning environment. This includes the engagement with peers, adults, materials and activities.
- Physical Development: used in our interactive
environment. This may include running, jumping, climbing, catching
and ball playing, and structured outdoor time.
- Social Development: used to promote active
learning experiences. This will be done by the use of many dramatic
play experiences such as pretend play and role playing.
- Mathematical skills & Critical Thinking: used
to increase all developmental areas. This may include phonological
awareness, vocabulary knowledge, problem solving, creative planning,
number concepts and peer interactions.
- Emotional: used to increase positive self
concepts. This may include the importance of human relationships such
as peer interactions and adult/child interactions. This also includes
peer negotiations, the ability to make choices and how to properly
interact with others.
- Family Involvement: used to increase the
educational ability of individual children. Parents are welcome to
our open door policy and encouraged to participate in many child
centered activities. They are also encouraged to participate in
program planning such as field trips and holiday decorating.
- Community Development: Community development is used to educate the parents on activities they can access within the community upon the re-acclimatization into society. This includes childcare referrals, free activities within the city, medical services available, and additional support services they may be able to use upon transition into their own apartments. Local trips to the fire departments, police stations, grocery stores and pet shops are also part of our program.
By focusing on the whole child and providing stimulating experiences, the Early Childhood Center helps children develop advanced learning skills.
To the left is a YouTube video, of my past class and the benefits of early childhood are incredible. I have been teaching for several years and to see the children come in at the beginning of the year and seeing them at the end of the year is amazing. Helping the children, along with my co-worker Mrs. Tillery, made me realize that this is their "Head Start" in showing what they know and what they can do. So, please take a minute to watch my video of my amazing class and what goes on during learning time.
