Preschool Learning - Accordance to Child Psychology

Todays parents are sandwiched between balancing work and family obligations and in this tug
of war they are unable to devote quality time to their children. Preschool centers have stepped in
to this scenario in order to help the modern guardians to span this gap of fulfilling the
responsibilities of nurturing the child when they are busy attending office hours.
Extensive research on child psychology is being conducted nowadays to suggest an ideal
preschool classroom arrangement to leverage a childs learning skills. Since quality child care
can enhance the childs memory, subjective, quantitative and interactive skills. Preschool in
Bhubaneswar develops their child pedagogy based on the premise of this school of thought.
Importance of Child Psychology
Historically, children were perceived merely as younger versions of adults and it was not until
nineteenth century when the famous
psychologist Jean Piaget established that
children thought process is radically different
than adults and therefore they cannot be treated
as younger versions of adults but as independent
entities.
Harnessing their untamed and pristine thoughts
and emotions towards meaningful direction is
not a very simple task which a Preschool intends
to achieve with proper study and research in the
subject.
Stages of Development
Piaget espoused that a child begins to learn right from the moment of his birth and remains in a
very volatile state of learning and personality development till the stage of eighteen. Piaget
diagnosed four distinct phases of child development and in each of these stages the focus of
training and learning are different.
Since infancy till two years of age he is in a sensorimotor stage when the child tries to grasp his
surrounding world through sensory perceptions and stimuli. Next stage which is scientifically
referred to as preoperational stage is primarily keyed on language development of the child but
they are unable to comprehend the logic even at this stage.
The third stage which is known as concrete operational stage revolves around developing logic;
however the abstract and hypothetical concepts still continue to elude them. At this phase the



child is able to step out of his own self and become aware of others feeling around himself which
indicates his progression from egocentricity to sociocentric perspective.
Finally the formal operational stage marks his maturity to comprehend all complex ideas and
theories. In every stage Piaget harps on what the child is unable to do and accordingly frames his
recommendations because we cannot expect the developments of formal operational stage at the
age of two years.
New Ways of Learning
Previously a childs learning progress was calibrated through his performance in class works,
home works and examination results. Learning texts verbatim through intensive memorizing
practice was a common among children.
Nowadays, Preschool in Bhubaneswar the focus is not only on results but rather more in the
process of imbibing the skills. Because it is more essential to make kids successful in their life,
not only academically but also in professional, emotional and social realms. It harps on building
a balanced personality by harmonizing disparate attributes in to a unified whole.
