APPLE THEME

· UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATING PLAY
What do our children need to know for kindergarten?
·
Where is the pressure to push academics coming from?
·
How play can prepare our children for school?
It
is the role of the Early Childhood Educator to provide an environment that is
enriching and full of inviting experiences.
In this stimulating setting children are able to foster growth in all
areas of development: social, emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual. These lively play places promote each child
to learn at their own rate, and it is the role of the educator to take those
learning play moments and give it added meaning and knowledge where needed.
These
skills are essential to the full and successful development that will become
the foundation for later learning to be built upon.
Through
play children learn to:
* To get along with others
* To take turns
* To concentrate* To problem solve
* To use their imagination
and creativity
* To deal with their
emotions and feelings
* To act out adult behaviour
* To develop large and small
motor skills
* To explore their senses
* To build self-confidence
and independence
The
children who thrive in school enter with strong communication skills. They are confident and self-assured, adept at
making friends, persistent, creative and excited about learning. These are the qualities that children acquire
through play.

THE GOOD SHEPHERD & THE CHILD
I have had the greatest fortune to attend an amazing training program for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This program was incredibly inspirational for me and I am so excited about making it a strong component of our preschool programming. This course has permitted me to honour the genuine spiritual life of children. To listen, pray and journey with them in the faith. It's purpose is to provide experiences that "initiate a covenant with God, to receive and respond to God's unconditional, personal love for each of them." (The Good Shepherd & the Child)
"I have called you by name, you are mine....Because you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you" (Isaiah 43:1,4)
