Fine Motor Skills are not only developed through the use of markers, crayons, and scissors, but also with small building blocks, puzzles, beading and play dough.
Imagination and modelling are key factors in encouraging children to become interested in various activities and different themes. When adults provide information in a fun and exciting way, their cognitive development excels. We use circle time as a primary tool to deliver information such as counting, the alphabet, days of the week, months of the year, and our various themes to enhance learning and encourage questions.
Children learn by taking risks and trying new activities. We help foster a pro-social environment by helping children use language and communication skills with their peers. This is done through modelling the behaviour wanted and using reflective language to encourage more conversation.
Gross motor skills are practiced outside on the climbing apparatus, by running, jumping, balancing, skipping, and with other organised games.
We encourage children to make healthy choices with nutrition by having a snack time of fruits and vegetables. This is also a wonderful opportunity for pro-social behaviour as the snack is shared and children practice turn-taking, patience, and language development.
By using positive re-enforcement, we help children learn to make better choices that will hopefully give them a positive outcome in situations and help them acquire a positive self image.
