A Message From Project Flash Children need to develop positive self-esteem to feel good about who they are. Self-confidence is fostered when children have challenging activities that they can master and when adults give them real decisions and choices about their learning. Young children gain confidence as they accomplish difficult tasks. As they work through the stages of development, new challenges and tasks present themselves everyday.
Confidence is built as kids learn to tie their own shoes, spell their names, or complete a puzzle.
At Project Flash we offer activities and materials that continually challenge each child. One way we do this is by arranging different work areas in the room. In each of the areas is a variety of materials and activities. Children work in the area of their own choice and choose their own materials. Through this freedom, they begin to understand that their decisions have value.
