Le Petit Kangaroo Child Care Education Centre

Just like adults, children don't always have the best of days.

When a child has a bad day, it may seem like the world is against them. But we have to remember that children are often just fine—they're simply reflecting what's going on in their lives and their brains are working overtime.

That said, there are ways to support a child who's having a challenging time starting with understanding, compassion an eye on the big picture.

How do you debrief, recoup or salvage the situation?

Each child is unique; therefore, the best way to help them reach their potential is to foster autonomy in the classroom by allowing them to make decisions and take ownership of their education.

Children with different personality types learn differently, but they learn best when they are stimulated and engaged.

Confidence should be instilled in even the most independent of children.

How do you empower and build autonomous children?

We aim to create an environment where the child can conduct their own experiences, allowing them to discover and grow freely. Following the Montessori philosophy, we create an environment that is naturally stimulating and provides children the tools to explore their world. 🌎

What strategies or framework do you use to set up your classroom or home?

Early Years is the foundation for lifelong learning.

The best way to keep your child engaged and motivated is to foster their curiosity, stimulate their mind and support their growth in ways that are fun and engaging 🤗

Are you thinking of putting your child in a bilingual program?

It’s never too early to give your child a head start in a bilingual program.

When your child begins their early education in a bilingual program, they are not only learning a second language but also improving their receptive, expressive and inter-personal skills. This will prepare them for future success.

The benefits of bilingual programs are many. From a socio-economic point of view, it improves your child's interaction with new cultures and languages as well as their academic success. On the personal level, being bilingual means that your child will have a head start on learning two languages from an early age. It also allows them to practice speaking in both languages without even realizing they are learning different ones.

Your child is curious and has lots of questions.

They are learning about their world and building their worldview with every situation they may come across.

Providing a safe place to explore ideas and expand your child's knowledge is so important in the early years as this has an impact of how they perceive the world in their later years.

The Importance of Play-Based Learning to Early Childhood Education - Play is the foundation for learning. By this we mean that if you want children to learn, then it is important for them to spend as much time as possible exploring their surroundings and interacting with others. This can be achieved through play-based learning in early childhood education.

Through play, children are able to explore new things, create their own plans and so on. Engaging children in creative activities such as drawing, and storytelling helps in their development.

We believe that the best way to give your child a head start is to give them a great place to learn. We have been able to create a safe space where children feel loved, valued and supported.

Children are happiest, and the most successful learners when they learn in a positive environment.

The Reggio Emilia method is a philosophy that was developed in the 1940’s, rooted in how children learn best and what they need to succeed.

Reggio Emilia’s approach is more than a theory—it’s a philosophy that harnesses the best of nature and human ingenuity for the benefit of children.
