Developmental activities for children 3-4 years old and older younger age Today they are becoming a natural need of every family. It has already been proven that a child begins to learn from birth. Why? First of all, be independent. And, of course, to navigate the Huge surrounding him Interesting World. This vision of the relationship between Parents and Baby helps create a special type of interaction within the family. From the first months we see and support a creative, actively developing Personality in our newborn baby.
What are the features of educational activities for children aged 3-4 years?
The age of three marks the beginning of a special period - the crisis of negativism. The next one and a half to two years will pass under the motto “I myself!” and “I don’t want to!” It takes too much patience just to organize simple steps like dressing, feeding, going for a walk, putting to bed. In such a situation, homeschooling for 3-year-old children can become burdensome for loved ones. However, you should not despair and think that the active cognitive process will have to be postponed indefinitely.
The caring, attentive teachers and psychologists of our Montessori center are ready to help you! Want to know exactly how our classes work? Bring your child to the first lesson for free!
The unique method of the outstanding teacher Maria Montessori has demonstrated its effectiveness for a whole century. In our work, we took into account all the author’s achievements and creatively applied them in our activities:
- We have organized an interesting and at the same time absolutely safe Montessori environment for conducting developmental activities for children from 3-4 years old and other ages;
- In order for inquisitive kids to discover all their natural abilities and satisfy their cognitive needs, we purchased high-quality proprietary didactic materials for working on fine and gross motor skills and realizing intellectual inclinations;
- Absolutely all types of learning and creativity, all classes for children 3 years old in our center are organized in such a way that the child increases his main resource, the main driving force - motivation for cognitive activity;
- We are not trying to fulfill any “program” that is age-appropriate by any criteria; We try to create a harmonious worldview and a special creative atmosphere in the process of educational activities for children aged 3-4 years.
Individual and group lessons, during which the teacher understands the character traits and cognitive processes of little Stars, give the child peace of mind and self-confidence. After all, every child is simply created to receive and absorb simply amazing amounts of new knowledge. When a baby gets this opportunity, his character becomes softer and more flexible. After all, he has everything he needs!
What developmental activities for children 3-5 years old are available in our center?
We suggest choosing the type of activity that is most suitable for you:
- Mini kindergarten– this is 3 or 4 hours, during which the little one is engaged with loving, competent specialists; parental accompaniment is not required;
- The general development group “Cosmonauts” is one and a half or two hour classes for children 3 years of age and older, where the child will be taught to read, count, under the guidance of a speech therapist will take care of speech development, and will be offered interesting role-playing games and theatrical performances;
- An adaptation group for kindergarten, in which the mother can attend classes with the baby if it is difficult for him to part with her at first;
- Developmental classes for children 3-4-5 years old in a weekend group.
Early development centers are private institutions designed to help children quickly adapt to the world that they are just beginning to explore. In entertaining classes conducted in a playful way, children learn spoken language, develop intelligence and creative talents, and motor activity.
First Light Club Children's Center
Many young parents bring their little ones to children's clubs. And this is by no means a tribute to fashion. The results of numerous studies have shown that children who are actively developing from the very beginning early age, become more successful. It is easier for them to master school subjects in the future; they have a good memory.
What is the difference between children's development centers and kindergartens?
Children spend several hours rather than the whole day in children's centers. Classes can take place in the morning or evening 2-3 times a week or on weekends, and can be presented as single master classes or comprehensive development courses. Club leaders, as a rule, develop several training programs and visiting schedules, which allows parents to choose the most suitable schedule and bring their children to the center at a time convenient for them.
Montessori center Gurenok
The doors of children's clubs are open even to the youngest, to children six months old who cannot yet walk or talk. Special programs have been developed for infants. By examining new objects, rearranging cubes, and playing, children improve sensory perception and develop hand motor skills. Classes with infants take place in the presence of one of the parents. Children over the age of one and a half years can be left to study on their own and not worry about anything: the institutions in question employ specialists who understand psychology and love children. They pay due attention to each child, take into account his characteristics and desires, and make sure that the children get the maximum benefit from classes and do not get bored.
