Course Description:
The great early childhood theorists Piaget, Erikson and Vygotsky have all emphasized the importance of play in the development of young children. Young children learn best in an active, hands-on environment that provides them with developmentally appropriate materials and activities. Setting up learning centers within the preschool classroom give children the experiences and play opportunities that can support their language development, problem-solving skills, social and emotional skills and gives each child the opportunity to work at their own level and be successful. Children learn best when they are interacting with items that interest them. According to the author of Preschool Appropriate Practices by Janice Beaty, the child must be able to trust their environment by experiencing the following: Awareness of the choices available; An interest in the materials (change items, often); Freedom to explore; Time to get deeply involved.
