EC News #2 - First Week Recap

Early Childhood students have been implementing the principle of adaptation this past week. Children are wired to adapt to their environment regardless of their circumstances, but can only do so effectively and productively with proper stimulation.

It has been a great first week with all of the students. The children are learning the daily routine and are responsive to prompts and guidance from guides and other students. Our older students have been helpful in modeling lessons, guidelines, and routines. Each child practices getting shoes and slippers on and off by themselves. At lunch, students enjoy conversing with their dining partners. Any leftover food comes home in your child's lunch box. Everyone has the opportunity to sleep and rest their bodies after lunch. We end the day playing and enjoying nature on the playground.

 

We look forward to getting to know everyone better and anticipate a fabulous school year!
