“Play Group Online Class”

Age 0 to 2.5 years

Toddlers are learning all the time. They may not be able to articulate themselves like older children but they are like sponges, taking in everything with their senses. (Literally! That’s why they put things into their mouths to feel and experience the object). Our interactive classes aim to involve them while doing activities and using materials at large to get active learning in motion.

“Area of Focus”

Creative Skills

Creative skill is all about empowering oneself to see concepts in a different light, leading to innovative thinking and problem solving. When provided with different and open ended materials toddlers learn to see and use objects differently. They get creative while exploring materials and trying to use it in more than one ways. Often as adults we get fixed to the idea of purpose behind an object. This restricts creativity and so we should provide enough materials and allow toddlers to explore freely to support them in developing creative skills.

EarlyLiteracy

Literacy skills for toddlers begin with pre writing and reading skills. It consists more of practical experiences of reading and writing. When they observe and learn to explore things around them and in their environment they begin to use fine motor skills and understand the surroundings. Exploring prints, scribbling in writing areas using jumbo crayons or chalks, awareness of print, letter knowledge etc. This enables them with writing and reading prerequisites and they eventually become ready for actual reading/writing practice.

Early Math and Science

Science and math is integrated with our environment and is present all around us. Children begin to explore the wonders of science and learn to figure out concepts of maths around them. Like noticing patterns around them, exploring natural processes of life and wondering about why’s for what they see on daily basis. Structured approach allows them to develop more thinking abilities to answer the why’s and understand processes better.

Play

Play is at the heart of how young children learn. Through play, children demonstrate what they are learning, what they are interested in, and what they are concerned about. They test out and practice actions to which they’ve been
exposed. When we observe children at play, we begin to learn more about what they understand and can identify the skills that need more practice. This informs our efforts to guide them to the next level. Physical development is as important at this state as is mental growth.

Social Skills

Peer and family interactions are another important context for learning. When engaged in peer play children observe others and will imitate or build on what they observe. At toddler stage children learn by imitating and so all interactions – formal, family and other adult child interaction supports them to develop more social and emotional skills. Children gain social and emotional skills when they make efforts to create games and coordinate activities with each other. For example, children learn self-regulation when they develop and play rule-based games and they learn perspective when they negotiate the themes within dramatic play activities with others.

Learning Environment

Learning environment plays a very important role in overall growth and development of child. Playful learning occurs beyond the school or child-care setting. It occurs everywhere. It occurs when parents are running errands, when children play with others in a park, or in after-school settings. This type of learning is often described as informal learning. Taking advantage of these opportunities helps children make connections to the larger world. Children are inspired to learn because of the desire to know how to do something or engage with others. The reward is relevant and enjoyable since it is based on the children’s
realtime experiences. Children spend most of their time in informal versus in more formal settings.

Short successful bursts of educational instruction can keep children motivated and attentive throughout the day.

If working with more than one child, consider each student’s learning style and method preference. Many families find that what fits one child, may not fit another, or that what worked well one semester, may feel stale and stop working the next time around. It’s this quest to find the best curriculum for each student’s learning style that can cause parent and student frustration, not to mention is emotionally exhausting to create that perfect custom curriculum.
