22.01.2022 ? For children to be able to do things like write and tie their shoe laces. They must first have the strength and coordination in the small muscles of their hands and fingers, these are known as fine motor skills. One way to help children build these skills is by setting up activities that help them practice using these tiny muscles. Much like this threading experience using small beads, enjoyed by the Kindergarten children today.

09.01.2022 ! Once your child has begun to purposefully draw images, he has mastered symbolic thinking. This important milestone in thinking skills means that your child understands that lines on paper can be a symbol of something else, like a house, a cat, or a person. At this stage, your child also begins to understand the difference between pictures and writing. So you may see him draw a picture and then scribble some words underneath to describe what he has ...drawn or to tell a story.

07.01.2022 From cardboard-crate-turned-pirate-ships, kitchen-roll-tube telescopes and muddy trenches in the fields to meticulously built lego police stations, constructive play can manifest itself in just about any form for the imaginative little minds.

06.01.2022 ? We need to consider that young children learn in quite different ways [than adults]. They learn by comparing physical experiences, by interactions with other people and their own feelings. And they learn an enormous amount through their imagination... Play is what pulls together the logical and creative parts of the brain. #PlayBasedLearning

05.01.2022 We recognise the need for a healthy balance of outdoor play and sun exposure for children, while ensuring they are protected from harmful UV rays. In our centre, we implement sun safety procedures like: Documenting the sun protection times on playground checklists Setting up outdoor play areas to take advantage of daily shade patterns Taking sun protection measures before engaging in any outdoor play on any day with a UV level of three or above... Monitoring children and guiding them to shade or indoors if they are not wearing or are removing protective clothing Being aware of the signs of heat stress and heat-related illness Encouraging regular drinking of water Although we do provide sensitive sunscreen we take an individual approach to sun safety and encourage parents to supply their own sunscreen for children with known skin allergies or needs Learning experiences about sun safety awareness are also built into our educational programs, to ensure the best possible outcomes for children and families. #Sunsafe #SlipSlopSlap
