TEACHING APPROACH
- Show interest in what children say and do
- Allow children to choose activities that interest them
- Offer learning opportunities that are challenging but achievable
- Encourage children’s pretend play
Build children’s self-esteem and self-confidence
- Give children special jobs that contribute to the success of the group, like setting the table for snack time
- Address each child by their name
- Consider including gardening or pets a program features; tending growing vegetables or feeding animals fosters a sense of accomplishment
