We believe that young children learn by doing. This belief is supported by works of Piaget (1950, 1972), Erikson (1950) and other child development theorists and researchers. Learning is a complex process that results from the interaction of children’s own thinking and their experiences in the external world. Children acquire knowledge about the physical and social worlds in which they live through playful interaction with objects and people. Stemming from these findings and in accordance wit the National Association for the Education of Young Children, Bethlehem Children’s Center provides a variety of developmentally appropriate hands-on activities for children to achieve these goals:
- Foster positive self-concept
- Develop social skills
- Encourage children to think, reason and experiment.
- Encourage language and literacy development.
- Enhance physical development
- Encourage and demonstrate sound health, safety and nutritional practices.
- Encourage creative expression and appreciation for the arts.
- Respect cultural diversity.
We believe that the teacher acts as a guide an facilitator in achieving these goals.
