Theory of Learning Conceptualisation

Outside school, almost everyone has an implicit theory about how people learn. If you ask them how people know, they are likely to suggest that it involves the learner being taught or told something and then learning and understanding it. Formal learning theories have their roots in psychology. They are interested in addressing the question, "How do people learn?" in the same way as informal theories are. The emergence of various systematic learning theories, some of which you will find here, has resulted from psychologists and others' consideration of this question over time. One of the most significant distinctions between…

Child-Led Learning

The definition of Child-Led Learning’, also known as ‘Free-Play’, is when the child is free to select their choice of learning tools and toys, such as, building blocks, playing in the sandpit, painting, etc. The goal is to observe how the child approaches the chosen activity and adjusts it according to their preference. Early childhood settings promote this form of play by allowing children to self-serve/help themselves to the resources provided.

Afternoon Enrichment Program

Nature Lovers (Forest Schools)

using natural resources to create a land art. The Forest Schools concept originated in Scandinavia. The approach was widely adopted in Denmark in the 1980's as a solution to the lack of indoor facilities for pre-school children.

Thursday's Cooking Club

Cinnamon Rolls & Milkshake

Our cooking club on Thursday’s is everyone’s favorite! Cooking with children has several benefits. As the tutor labels all the ingredients, it increases a child's vocabulary. Kids also have to follow directions which enhances receptive language skills. While cooking, we also explain each step and have children describe what they are doing for even greater language development. Cooking with children enhances fine motor skills, increases math ability as they measure ingredients, increases focus and attention and of course teaches them life skills. Here below children are seen putting mini cinnamon rolls and a milkshake together which was quite a treat…

Toddler Time

Craft Activity

We were busy being very creative with our toddlers.We have tried to introduce the 3D art concept to them. Children learnt to manipulate a paintbrush, this helps to improve their fine motor skills. Most importantly, when children feel good while they are creating, art helps boost self-confidence. And children who feel able to experiment and to make mistakes feel free to invent new ways of thinking.
