We often complain that the methods we use in our classroom are not working.  However, what I believe we need are teachers to be better at implementing the methods.
Therefore
Improving Early Childhood Teachers understanding and Implementation of the Project Approach is the focus of this study.

Michael Fullan: Leading Change in Education

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Learning through play, appears to be a simple notion, but has profound meaning.

It helps children make sense of the world around them through discovery, allowing them to develop cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically.

The importance of play has been studied by various psychologists and scientists for over a century.

Jean Piaget (1962) was the first psychologist to make the systematic study of children's cognitive development.

Piaget viewed play as integral to the development of intelligence in children. His theory of play argues that as the child matures, their environment and play should encourage further cognitive and language development.
'In play a child is always above his average age, above his daily behaviour, in play, it's as though he were a head taller than himself.' (Lev Vygostsky 1978)
Guided play and children's development

Both child-led play and guided play have a fundamental role in children's development. In child-led play, children have full independence and true autonomy.

Alternatively, through guided play teachers can deliver games, activities or a setting for children to play and target specific areas of development.

In both cases, children should be actively engaged and have fun whilst participating.

All activities should be child-centred.

Indoor Play Vs Outdoor Play

Now that we have established the importance of play and learning, many recent studies have revealed that indoor play can be disadvantageous to children's growth.

Research by Burdette and Whittaker in 2005 discovered, that outdoor imaginary play encourages the brain to mature at a considerably faster rate, than those children who play indoors.

This results in better language development and more sociable children, who are generally happier.

Health Benefits of Outdoor Play

When it comes to playtime, many parents and teachers frequently worry about children picking up germs which may result in them becoming unwell, consequently choosing indoor play instead.

This is a common misconception and in fact, recent research by Epstein (2001) has found that playing indoors has a higher probability of encouraging Asthma than playing outdoors.

Many studies have shown that outdoor play can enhance the immune system.

In fact, research suggests that children from rural areas, or those children who spend a lot of time engaging in outdoor play have the best overall general health.

Playing outdoors increases children's Vitamin D levels, provided by the sun. Vitamin D is fundamental to children's overall health as it encourages; a better mood, increased energy levels, and improved memory.

Outdoor learning experiences through play can work hand in hand with the curriculum. Through play, children are encouraged to makes sense of the 'real world' and put into practise the concepts and skills that they have acquired in the classroom. This in turn better equips them for the future.

At Pentagon Play , all our are created with the vision of encouraging children's growth. We offer specific products to target different areas of development. We also understand the importance of free play and have products to help children use their active imagination, whilst having true independence.

Teacher to Parent : Using Standard 2- As a leader, one must understand and value the diversity of a family and ensure my teachers also value and maintain the same traits as well, by conducting salient communication with the parents, including them in lesson plans and decision making. This will allow my teachers to gain new knowledge about the children and family's background, culture and getting an understanding of how best children learn. By implementing this I'm ensuring the teachers are able to respect and respond appropriately but also engaging the parents in their child's development and learning process. I must also encourage, motivate and innovate the teachers to involve the community, its organizations and it resources to support the children, school and even families who need assistance. I Would influence my staff to involve the community by inviting members into the school to get an understanding of how things are done, how children learn best and what they need to learn and develop holistically.

Teacher to Teacher : Using Standard 6 -
Teachers serve as informed advocates for young children, their families, the school and community. Teachers rely on early childhood professional guidelines to ensure growth and development of their children. As a leader, I must encourage professional communication skills that support their relationship with other staff members, students and families. To ensure overall success, I would motivate my staff to constantly reflect on their practices and strategies used within the classroom setting. I would also incorporate a variety of communication skills that include technology, to effectively support young children's learning and development. I must always try to innovate my staff to cooperate and collaborate with one another to recognize and develop a learning community to achieve goals and targets.
