Scaffolding

Scaffolding is an interactive learning process between adult and child. The adult observes the child's play ideas, then gently guides and supports the child's learning by building on what the child already is able to do. Ideally, the adult will begin by meeting the child where she is - by copying her play idea, for example. Then the adult makes a slight variation on the activity, providing appropriate challenges to lead the child to new levels of learning.

Movement and Learning

Children ages 1 1/2 to 3 learn primarily through movement. In order to learn they must manipulate objects and participate in body movement.

"According to a new York Longitudinal Study, three major factors in early learning environments lead to competency in adulthood:
1. Rich sensory environments
2. Freedom to explore with few restrictions, and
3. Available parents that acted as consultants."
