什么是游戏课程?

"Play is children's self-chosen process of recreating experience in order to understand it." 1

在疾控中心, children's play is supported by the thoughtful array of activities that the teachers present. Play allows the whole child to develop. Children grow intellectually, physically, socially, emotionally, and creatively.

Teachers in a play-based program that 反映s children's changing interests and abilities, create an environment and corresponding curriculum that encour年龄 children's exploration. Teachers at the 儿童发展中心 take the time to listen to children, 让他们参与对话, and closely observe the ways they interact with others.

Teachers use these observations to help children think about their thinking.

"Project Work" enables children to solve a problem or answer a question as they learn to make sense of their world. Children review their current knowledge about a topic, 做出假设和预测, 然后, 在一个群体中, 探索, 研究, 面试, 讨论, 反映, and even change their point of view as they share their ideas.

The program develops relationships between the children, 他们的家庭, 还有中心的成年人. Young children are developing trust, a sense of self, and initiative. Each child's teacher creates a trusting relationship which supports that child's learning.

The 儿童发展中心's play-based curriculum fosters an integrated community of learners.
