The importance of cognitive activities during early education stages
Kids are curious, that is their nature. It is important to check what they do all the time but it is also good to let them explore at their own pace. Children need to learn by touching, hearing, and feeling. All of these things are important during their early development. Every activity presents the child with an opportunity. How they react to it is up to them. Here in our Daycare, we make sure to challenge them in a creative and fun way.
Cause and Effect
One of the best ways to make a kid learn is through cause and effect. According to experts, kids can learn by experimenting with things beforehand. Of course, under an adult’s supervision. If you give a kid a toy and show them how to use it, you’re halting the learning process. If you let them use it, they’ll learn at their own pace.
Active Thinking
In the past, storytime was all about listening. These days, however, it is more about asking questions. Making them do some critical thinking can activate their brain in a lot of ways. You can tell a part of the story and ask them what they think. What’ll happen next? This way kids think beyond what they’re hearing from the book. It is necessary to know the importance of cognitive activities. They can activate a lot of areas in your kid’s brain. After leaving the daycare try to practice this at home. And, always ask the daycare if they are applying this way of teaching to the kids. It is important for their development.
