Learning Goals
Little learners will continue to develop their "pre-skills" in different areas of learning.
*Social development - how to get along with others and how to work together. Little learners build their social, language and self-control skills.
*Emotional development - how to understand their own feelings and feelings of others. Little learners build their self-esteem.
*Language development - how to communicate and understand through listening, talking, reading and writing.
*Cognitive development - how to make decisions and solve problems. Little learners improve their thinking skills by exploring and asking questions.
*Physical development - how to move their bodies actively and how to master both their large and fine motor skills.
