Constructive Kinder

Welcome to Constructive Kinder by Loorducation

Constructive Kinder is focused on a hands on learning approach in Kindergarten. Constructivism is a perspective in the field of education that is based upon experimental learning.Children learn by playing and exploring, therefore they need to be in a learning environment that promotes play, movement and hands on learning. Following a curriculum that is based on constructivism allows children to explore, discover and be active participants in the learning process.

Play is fun but it is also a child's work, it is what they do- PLAY. When children play, they learn early math and language and develop skills for academic success.When a child is playing with blocks, he or she is counting, predicting, calculating and measuring, all which are skills required for mathematics. When a child is playing house, he or she is developing social emotional skills that help them build their character.

Children are not meant to be sitting at a desk for long periods of time. Doing so causes boredom and day dreaming. Children have the need to be active.Being active promotes learning. By having a curriculum that is constructive based, children will be able to learn by being hands on with tools. Children will learn by exploring their classroom. They will also learn by doing. Children will learn by tinkering and getting messy using play dough, paints, flubber, moon sand and other  sensory items.All the while children are actually learning how to count, write, spell, listen and learn. Yes, learn. Children who are active inside the classroom are learning how to solve problems and be creative, which are two qualities that are needed to be successful individuals.

Yearning for Learning

Playing is learning. It is summer time and the children are on vacation. When they are playing, they are learning. They learn about their environment through many variations of play.They need a lot of free time for open ended play but they also need to be reading and practicing academics too. Learning never ends. It begins at home, travels through school then continues onto home and follows us wherever we go. Education is everywhere and it is vital that we strive to be lifelong learners and make our children life long learners as well. It is also very important to make learning fun and enjoyable. The idea is to have children fall in love with learning and be drawn to it. It does not take much to have children become proactive about their learning from an early age. Hand them some paper, writing tools, arts and craft supplies and let them know that they can create whatever it is that they like to. This empowers them. Giving them choices also gives them great opportunities for wonderful self expression. This is what is needed. When children feel well, they will learn well. This is the bottom line.Let's make all the children around us feel that they matter and that they are important  not just in the future when they grow up, but today, when they are little humans.
