What Do Children Learn in Kindergarten?
Early childhood is a significant period in human development. It is the time when children begin to develop independence, initiative, decision-making, creativity, early literacy and numeral skills, the ability to relate to others, verbal communication skills, and feelings of self worth! What young children learn at this stage will have a major impact on successful learning experiences in school, on personal development and on future participation in society. Young children begin all this important learning in a variety of environments – in their homes, in day care programs and in the community Children arrive in Kindergarten from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of experiences. In a Catholic School, children are affirmed and encouraged as they make their own journey toward God and greater participation in the Church.
