In order to engage children actively in learning, educators identify children's strengths and interests, choose appropriate teaching strategies and design the learning environment. Educators carefully assess learning to inform further planning (Framework, p.9) Book corner is a cosy area where we can read, do a puzzle, or enjoy some quiet time. The children’s interests often spark learning projects such as learning about insects and animals. Educators and families work together to develop a fun, educational program. There are many opportunities for exploring, learning and creating both in the indoor and environment and outside in our garden. Home corner is a place where the children can come and explore different roles through role play, and engage in conversation with friends while developing self help skills. Exploring the natural environment help’s to develop an understanding of our world and to learn to appreciate and be connected with our world. More images of our playroom.
