SYNOPSIS of the SEMINAR Children learn a great deal before they can read, and much of that is good, solid information. The fact that they learn it by seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling does not make the learning and information gathered less accurate, or the learning style less valid”. The Learning Child - Dorothy H. Cohen

Very different modes of learning can enhance intellectual development, and all who have taken the trouble to study young children have found that the most significant intellectual learning at that stage occurs in action and through the senses. Given the nature of childhood and based on the knowledge of the learning process we should then be concerned about the approaches in the care and and practices we adhere to in the early years.

This talk will address some basic fundamentals in understanding how child grows and develops and how the home environment and the pre-school environment can be supportive of the child’s learning.

Drawings on the findings of psychologists like Piaget and Vygotsky, this talk seeks to explore the crucial links between learning and the successive stages of childhood and help parents to turn child’s natural instinct for enquiry into a meaningful journey for life-long learning.

With almost 32 years of experience as a trainer, a professional consultant and the innovative mind behind many of the early childhood care and education programmes adopted by childcare centres and government agencies in Singapore and Southeast Asia; Puspa designs and implements each of the reputable programmes for PTC Learning School International, Singapore You can thus be rest assured that the quality of our programmes is in the hands of the best in the field.
