Our centers thematic approach presents possibility of an extremely useful and enjoyable pre-school programme. Center based approach would create new vistas for growing children. We would optimize opportunity for learning for children.
1. LANGUAGE & LISTENING CENTER
Although the children use language skills in many areas of the classroom, the language & listening center is the focal point for introducing a variety of experiences involving talking, listening, questioning & labeling. These experiences are important in preparing young children to read & write.
2. BLOCK & MOTORSKILL CENTER
The block center allows the children to build imaginative structures using blocks & miniature real-life objects. In the process, the children role-play & interact socially with their peers. Building with blocks toasters a wide range of growth in large & small motor skills. A child may work along, creating a single building, or several children may combine their efforts to build a small town with houses, cars and roads.
3. DRAMATIC PLAY CENTER
The dramatic play center provides safe setting for children to role-play, express feeling, dramatize stories & try out behaviors observed in adults. Much of what takes place in dramatic play center requires the children to share materials and roles. Deciding who will play the part of the baby bear & who will cook the dinner become important lessons in negotiating with others.
4. SCIENCE & NATURE CENTER
Early childhood teachers have traditionally provided an area of the classroom where children could experience nature. This center is an exciting place to find out how things work to perform simple experiments, to learn about nature & to sharpen thinking skills.
5. ARTS & CRAFTS CENTER
The arts & craft center is a special environment in which children feel free to explore a wide range of materials in imaginative ways. Creative art activities encourage the children to follow their own ideas, using materials provided by me teacher in the children may even combine several creative processes such as painting, drawing, and cottage. For craft projects however, the teacher suggests a product for the children to make that encourages them to create their own version of it.
6. COMPUTER & MANIPULATIVE CENTERThe Purpose of manipulative center is to provide many opportunities for children to court, sort, explore and group the objects. As the children investigate concrete materials, they begin to understand more abstract in an early childhood setting children spend most of the time interacting with other children. Just like adults there adults there are times when children need relief from interaction. Work in the manipulative center allows children to cheese toys designed for individual use, providing opportunities to develop self-reliance & independent thinking.
