The Benefits Of Early Childhood Education

I agree that play-based learning offers diverse opportunities for children to explore, discover and create, they can also discover new things and communicate with peer during free-play time. Frobel said that “Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child 's soul” (Froebel, 1887). He believed in the importance of play in a child’s learning as creative activity. Play provided the means for a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development which are necessary elements in educating the “whole” children allowing them to use all imaginative powers and physical movements to explore their interests.

STANDARD: 6 TEACHERS Artifact: Special Learning Opportunity workshop Experience from child Dev. 143; Science, and Math for Young children I chose this artifact because this Standard is about the important teacher should be training to be up date of the new discoveries in Early Childhood Development to offer a high quality education. I learned from this artifact that workshops are helpful to educator and not educator, where the purpose is to teach the children by encourage and guide them to explore the world.

• Allow your child to have some special objects which are his alone. • As a child matures he will begin to see that it’s more fun to play together rather than on his own. Talk about sharing The best time to discuss sharing is when you are playing together calmly. • Trying to get a child to listen when he is already heading towards a tantrum is pointless because he won’t be calm enough to understand.

There is no right or wrong way to play, it is a process that varies from child to child and is a very natural part of development. Play is how children learn to socialize, to think, to be independent, and to have fun with others. Play connects children into their imagination of the world we live in. According to Jona K. Anderson-McNamee “Play with other children helps a child learn how to be part of a group.

The essay delivers a key point that recess plays a much more important role in the lives of children than most people would think. In fact, early in the essay Bornstein brings up a valid point in which research states that a main predictor of a child’s mood in school is whether or not they are having fun during recess. Bornstein provides another fact involving Plato and how he “believed that children had to grow up in an atmosphere of play to become virtuous

Allowing children to learn to think critically helps them to solve problems and have a logical argument about something they believe is true. Applying critical thinking into schools gives a child a chance to make a difference. Also, Elizabeth McKinstry agrees with Hummell in challenging the next generation to think for themselves. McKinstry writes about how Common Core education helps children become more interactive in the world and teaches them how to apply the knowledge they have learned in life. McKinstry said, "Their reality is not connected to a world outside the boundaries in which they live" (McKinstry 20).

Each elements in children’s live could guide children toward to variety of ways. For a good future development, students should have ability to innovate and endow things new meaning. Creativity is an essential element for students. Based on the Ipods experiment, students create their own methods for better study. This is one of the reflection of the creativity in the real educational context.

Play encourages children to be in control and have choice which enhances their self esteem. Children gain a respect when playing as they learn to communicate well, by interacting with others, and finally children who have explored play in early years become more confident within later life as they are more likely to engage in lifelong learning (Macleod- Brudenell & Kay, 2008). Play is clearly shown to benefit children and provide them with skills they can use throughout

The child I observed took initiative while playing with toys and participating in activities. She also explored by trying new games that she had not played before. The child’s overall development was appropriate for her

Children learn language skills by interacting with the immediate environment and training or simple structural changes can improve language skills of children (Bouchard & Gilles, 2011). The early education given in early childhood shapes foundation of the life and helps mental and academic development of child. Throughout the play and education, children learn social skills along with how to deal with others and develop their own values (Webster-Stratton & Reid, 2010). Therefore, this paper, with the purpose of developing the children’s future, discusses why it is very essential to recognize the importance of early childhood education, how it effects to person 's life and how it can be developed. 2.Disscussion of findings 2.1.

This is because the child can learn more when learning through doing and they can develop their language as they are learning through rhymes and finger play. Also, it is important that practitioners can encourage children imagination to flow freely in play. This could be set up different areas in the classroom like role play or construction. These areas will help the child to use their imagination and socialise with other children. It is important that practitioners provide a wide range of materials and activities which will meet the child’s individual’s

Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP) is important to understand prior to implementing creative activities in your classroom because from the reading I liked a few points on how young children develop and learn and what is known about effective early education. First, knowing what is expected at each stage of a young child 's development is important, and it informs decisions about the best practices. Another key factor is knowing exactly what is appropriate for each individual child. Watching children play can give important insight to their progress and ability.

In my opinion, the term play is defined as an array of naturally motivated activities related with leisure pleasure and enjoyment. According to Kielhofner(2009), play is the vehicle for therapy because it gives a child the control and enticement to choose appropriate sensory-motor behaviour. Also, play is a way for children to fulfil their need for action( Keilhofner, 2009, p. 225). American Occupational Therapy Association (2016) states that “The primary goals of childhood are to grow, learn, and play. It is often through play that children learn to make sense of the world around them.

Professionalism to an early childcare worker is being able to engage children appropriately while staying within the environmental and cultural boundaries set by their parents. Early childhood is a crucial area of development, where many social skills and basic motor functions are learned and retained. It is fundamental for any childcare worker to understand what is and is not acceptable behavior, and how to properly guide the child into appropriate mannerisms also knowing when and how to punish certain behaviors. (Maycie Southall, 2013). The worker must be knowledgeable on how children learn, and thereby be able to engage the child into developmental play by being able to incorporate motor skills and sensory stimulation into their education.

There are certain academic targets within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) that aren 't schooling in its usual format, but are based on the idea of learning and are usually conducted in a more playfull manner, designed to harness the learning aspects of children 's playtime. An excellent example of learning through play is, though not relevant to standard education as such, is that children who may play with toy cars or trucks may find driving or vehicle related activities easier in the future. The EYFS delivery across the UK differs depending on location. English schools deliver the EYFS curriculum in school nurseries and reception classes, and since the end of 2012, it has been contained one standard framework against which all learning, care and development is measured for children from the day they 're born until the end of their year in reception. Children undergoing the EYFS curriculum in England range from 3-5 years.
