Preschool programs can be divided into
four different types. Each type follows a particular set of values which help
the perceptive as well as the social growth of kids. The types of pre-school
programs include:
Montessori
Program:
The Montessori Method of education and
learning, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centred educational
method based on scientific observations of kids from birth to maturity. The
goal of the Montessori Method is to grow a child's senses, personality,
practical life skills, and educational skill. Those are ready to prepare in a
Montessori school required to have an earlier years as a child undergraduate or
graduate education and Montessori certification.
Reggio Emilia:
The Reggio Emilia Approaches to
earlier years as a child's education began in the city of Reggio Emilia in
Italy. Since its development in the 1940 and today many schools in the United
States embrace this philosophy. The preschool in Ottawa program is open-ended
and child-led, and the students learn through art, projects, and activities
that reflect their ideas and interests. This inspiring and innovative
educational approach to early childhood learning has since been used worldwide.
Waldorf:
This
approach is based mostly on the teachings of Austrian writer Rudolf Steiner.
Waldorf preschools earlier years as a child, teacher works with the younger kid
by creating a warm, beautiful and loving homelike environment, which is
protected and secure, and where things happen in an expected, rhythmic method.
Instruction is trainer directed, and every educator must be Waldorf certified.
High Scope:
The
High Scope Program uses a carefully developed approach called active,
participatory learning. A preschool program that builds up intellectual skills
and attitudes for school success by increasing programs for active learning.
This preschool program puts its goal on planned experiences in the basic
subjects of mathematics, studying, and science. It is based mostly on past and
current child development research.
