Watch for:

 

  • programs developed as educators actively listening and observing children in play.
  • allow children to explore their ideas and engage with others.
  • create a collaborative approach to learning. In this process children gain different perspectives, fill gaps in their existing ideas, and create new knowledge promoting critical thinking.
  • through exploration educators aim to meet each child’s learning style, building a positive sense of self image and belonging.
