Education, or learning, comes in many forms. List the activities each parent and child did in the early childhood classroom. This program is a perfect example of adult learning. One of the things we know, too, is that children learn through their play and recreation. Playing is a child's work.
Children learn reading, writing, and problem-solving through play.
For example, marble painting and color mixing develop small muscle coordination, creativity, and self-esteem through satisfaction in the process of a project, organization in following the steps of a project, and learning how to follow directions from the teacher or parents present. Organized games with rules like hopscotch teach spatial relationships, physical skill development, turn taking, rule following, and concepts of competition. Circle time teaches cooperation skills, listening skills, following directions, skills in answering questions in a group setting, word meanings and rhyming, coordination, rhythm, and musical development with voice and body.
