The first five years of a child’s life
determine their success in the future. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind
that habits, values, skills and ethics imparted to a child at this age will
have a definite impact on the child’s future. As I have always maintained: the impact
of a single day of learning in the early years is equivalent to years of learning in the future.
1) Knowing That One Size Doesn’t Fit
All
The greatest impact on the child is by
the environment in which they learn. Learning spaces must be designed keeping
the learner and the learning in mind. When we developed our classrooms and
curriculum at Oakridge, we knew that there has to be a symbiotic relationship
between them. It is impossible to assume that one size fits all and that all
curricula can be implemented in any classroom.
2) Allowing
Students To Ask Questions
The
second environmental factor to keep in mind are the people. Teachers have a
tremendous impact on the impact of learning on a child. Read more here.
