Children are Born Curious!

The highlight of my day is taking a stroll down to the preschool

to chat and share in the vibrant energy generated in that learning space. The natural curiosity and wonderment about the world of these young students is so refreshing and inspiring.

It is also why inquiry-based learning in preschool works so well. The ways in which children play, explore and question are delightful, but more importantly, they are also fundamental to their early cognitive and social development.

This is the ideal time to start nurturing and further developing the inquiring mind of these young students to foster life-long skills that will support their learning journey through school and beyond.

“... education should try to preserve the most remarkable features of the young mind - its adventurousness … its resourcefulness, its generativity and its flashes of flexibility and creativity.” – Howard Gardner –

Inquiry-based learning in preschool is such that it promotes social, cognitive, linguistic, physical, emotional and creative development.

I am so excited to see this learning space continue to develop and grow as we journey together as a PYP Team!
