Precious Time believes that a child should be exposed to a variety of experiences to help them learn. Each child learns in a different way; some learn by listening, some learn by watching, while others need to feel and touch. The learning materials in our classrooms are selected to provide challenge and stimulation for a wide range of skill levels. Teachers are trained to employ multilevel teaching techniques to appeal to the various learning styles of their students. Precious Time Curriculum

How can you determine which type of learning style works best for your child? The following information may be helpful:
1.Auditory Learners may prefer to sit where they can hear well. These children may talk about the things that they hear about. During lessons they will hear what is being taught, even if they do not appear to be paying attention. Auditory learners may talk to themselves while working, and they are able to learn in a noisy environment. Auditory learners may enjoy an active learning center with lots of stimulation, such as programs that include groups of students interacting. These students also enjoy learning in a relaxed atmosphere, and are attracted to activities that include language activities; for example, a preschool auditory learner may enjoy talking books.
2.Visual Learners may prefer to sit where they can observe what is going on. They will talk about what they see, and they prefer to learn by reading and watching rather than by listening. These children create mental pictures of what they see and hear. They may like to write information down, and prefer to work in a quiet atmosphere. They see colorful pictures, and like to watch things when they are bored. Visual learners may respond well to a learning center that has small groups, and few distractions. They enjoy activities that employ video or computer images, arts and crafts, and other fine arts that include drawing and painting. Their ideal leaning situation includes visual stimulation.
3.Kinesthetic Learners may need to engage in "hands-on" experiences where they can feel and communicate by touching. This child may say, "Show me how to do it." The kinesthetic learner does not like to feel confined, and may constantly move around when they are required to sit still. They like to tinker with objects or build models. These children benefit from field trips, and prefer being outdoors. Provide kinesthetic learners with a variety of experiences. An ideal learning center would allow freedom for this child to move around. Computers, hands-on activities, manipulatives, experiments, and field trips appeal to the kinesthetic learner. Other stimulating activities may include building, dressing, or three-dimensional creative activities.
