• It is critical for caregivers to provide healthy development in all 5 areas. My program is developed from 5 premises.
1) The purpose of education is to increase competence and mastery in all aspects of the developing self. It is important to teach children to cope by equipping them with skills. Confidence in their coping ability, is what underlies a child’s sense of self-worth.
2) Physical and emotional health are absolutely fundamental to the well-being of a child.
3) Children learn most easily by means of actual, involving experiences with people and activities.
4) Children pass through varying stages as they develop.
5) Children need time to be children. The purpose of early education is to not urge or pressure child development-but allow children to development at their own pace. Practical Examples of My Care Principles
