Preschool is a critical time
for every child. For many, it proves to be a wonderful growing year
where friends become more important as does the idea of getting to know
about how to be in a group with a teacher. Play-based
learning is something that preschool is "all about" - but what is it?
How is it important for the 4 and 5 year-old? How does being in
Preschool contribute to a great start to "big" school" and set our
children off on the road to being a successful adult in later years. Over
the next months we will be adding to this series of web-pages - seeking
to provide some greater insight into the important role that play-based
learning plays in our children's lives. Somewhere, along the way, we
will also see how we, as parents, can play a vital part in that success
story for our children - and those with whom our children play from our
local preschool and primary school community. |
