The Value of Early Childhood EducationThe early years of a child make up the crucial formative phase of his/her life. To a large extent, the experiences and knowledge a child receives during this phase provides the foundation for later formal education. This, as we are well aware, will have a bearing on his/her options and opportunities later on in life. Research in child development has shown that children develop fifty percent of their general intelligence before the age of four. It is also found that for the average eighteen year old, one third of his/her proficiency in areas like vocabulary, reading comprehension and general scholastic skills, are already developed before he/she reaches six!What this means is that quality childhood education is essential in supporting to set a child on the path of realising a bright and promising future. The love and guidance we give to our children cannot be over emphasised. Coupled with a positive and nurturing childhood education, as with the one THE PREPARATORY PLACE believes in providing, they form the most precious gifts.The Learning EnvironmentThe learning environment is carefully designed to develop your child fully, concentrating on the three main areas, namely intellectual and emotional development, aesthetic development and social and physical development. Teachers make informed decisions about how best to support each child’s growth and development. They offer a learning environment which provides opportunity for in-depth experiences, ensuring breadth, balance and relevance of learning in early education.Play - The Seed of LearningPlay is of central importance in the intellectual and emotional development of children. We encourage purposeful play by providing appropriate play materials for children that help to develop their interest, motivation, social and information processing skills. In our daily activities there is always something new to wonder at, think about, observe and create.Through dynamic exploration and discovery, children develop mathematical and scientific ideas.
