Hands-on learning is the natural way preschoolers learn. When the hands are busy, the brain is active.
Little ones begin to use their hands from an early age. It is through handling things, in a practical way, that they begin to experience the world around them.
Through hands-on activities, children are encouraged to learn through exploration. Hands-on learning develops thinking skills.
Here are some reasons hands-on learning is so vital for early childhood development.
Hands-on learning stimulates growth of the brain. The right side is stimulated through visual stimuli, creativity and using the imagination; the left side through problem solving, spatial awareness, sorting and organizing.
Hands-on learning encourages multi-tasking through listening, speaking, touching and using the senses to explore the environment.
Hands-on experiences develop problem-solving skills.
It allows young children to interact with the learning materials and make mistakes as they learn in a practical manner.
Hands-on learning is more realistic and less abstract for young learners.
It helps to develop critical thinking skills and create learning opportunities to use all senses. It is a practical approach to learning.
Hands-on learning is a very good pathway to improve fine motor skills.
We love teaching with all different types of learning materials to bring learning to LIFE!
Each class we will do hands-on activities that focus on teaching children the foundational skills they need to be successful in school and beyond. Some of the essential skills and concepts we focus on are order, patterns, colors, shapes, matching, letter and number identification, letter-sound correspondence, and so much more!
You will leave each class with a masterpiece created by your little one’s hands.
Our art and craft projects are designed to help your kids grow and develop.
