The main
objective of KEIKI is to provide a positive environment where
children learn, love, and grow. To nurture the progress of each
individual child, we divide the developmental growth into three
parts.
-
Socio-emotional Development
-
Cognitive Development
-
Physical
Development
Socio-emotional Development
-
To let
children develop a sense of self-esteem. They need to feel
important and worthwhile.
-
To help
children demonstrate a positive attitude toward life.
Children need to show interest and participate in classroom
activities. It is an important task for us to create a sense
of freedom and independence that will encourage this
demonstration to take place.
-
To teach the
children respect themselves and others. Children need to
understand and respect individual differences and culture.
They need to work co-operatively with others to be able to
complete a task and resolve conflicts constructively.
Cognitive
Development
-
To help them
to acquire learning and problem solving skills. Children will
learn to be able to ask and respond to questions, observe and
make discoveries, and apply information and experience s in
new contexts.
-
To help them
expand logical thinking skills. Through the use of
manipulative toys and instruments, children will learn to
classify objects, compare and contrast, arrange objects in
series, and recognize patterns.
-
To teach them
to expand their imaginations and engage in make-believe play.
Children also need to interact with other children and be able
to begin and sustain play with others in a creative and
appropriate way.
-
To help them
expand verbal communication skills. Children should be able
to follow simple directions and to adequately communicate
their needs, ideas, and natural curiosity.
-
To help them
develop pre-reading skills. Children need to acquire a love
of books, to acquire listening skills and be capable of
repeating simple stories. They should learn to recognize their
own name in print and to have object, letter and number
recognition skills in pictures and begin to imitate the
written word.
Physical
Development
-
To assist in
the development of gross motor skills. Children need to use
large muscles for walking, jumping, running, or balancing with
confidence.
-
To help them
refine and enhance their fine motor skills, improve hand-eye
coordination, for writing and drawing, and using their small
muscles for self-help skills.
-
To emphasize
usage of all senses in learning by demonstrating skills in
discriminating sounds, visuals, tastes, smells, and the
differences in texture and pattern.
