About Us
Toddlers have an instinctive desire to learn, discover and try new things. Their natural curiosity is attracted to anything they are unfamiliar with, making children interested in trying everything new. This interest in learning can be taken advantage of in schools and at home to maximise a child’s development, but only when done correctly.
While toddlers are naturally curious, they are also very active, mentally and physically. Often, they require our help to focus their attention. However, there is a way to make almost any topic instantly intriguing to children, and the answer lies in experiential learning.
What is Experiential Learning?
Experiential learning is a learning method where children actively participate in the learning process, as it makes lessons personal to children by including them in the instructing process. For example, instead of the traditional approach of teaching them about cutting fruit, children would cut fruit themselves under adult supervision in the experiential learning approach.
What are the benefits?
Learning and growth happen quickest when a child can devote full attention to a topic, especially if it poses an age-appropriate challenge.
Experiential learning offers a fun alternative to traditional classroom teaching that can improve the following areas of growth and learning:
Children gain a deeper understanding of content when allowed to act on it and when they are fully interested in the content, which causes synapses (nerves in the brain) to create stronger connections when a child associates motor functions with new information, which leads to higher memory retention.
Experiential learning demands effort and attention simply by being an activity in which children can participate, making the lesson a more personalised exercise of hands-on exploration.
Practical knowledge is typically gained when children encounter obstacles and are allowed to develop their problem-solving skills to overcome these challenges. Allowing pre-schoolers to participate in daily processes actively can establish life skills that will benefit their future growth and learning.
Experiential learning gives children a sense of accomplishment that will develop their self-esteem and fuel their desire to learn. When they take ownership of a situation, with help from adults, children learn how to follow their ambitions without being afraid to try something new or struggle at first.
