Building an open learning corner, creating excitement for children to explore and develop personalization

Happy schools or classrooms are the goals that educational institutions are aiming for. Simply put, a happy school is a place where both teachers and students feel ready to go, have excitement, joy, anticipation and vibrations. In these classes, there will be no imposition of students developing according to models, but they are oriented to do what they love, are passionate about, and develop their abilities to the maximum.

Determining the vision of an international-class educational environment on the basis of inheriting and promoting the educational quintessence of Vietnam and Canada. There, all members are happy because they are respected, voluntarily strive to rise up for their own development and the mission of the school, kindergartens under the Sunshine Maple Bear Education System are applying many modern educational methods to bring students and teachers a modern - happy learning environment, so that each student can be comprehensively educated, develop maximum personal capacity, and be ready to adapt.

Create interest for preschool children from familiar learning topics

Ms. Ta Thi Xuyen, Principal of Sunshine Maple Bear Kindergarten, Riverside, said that the learning method through the theme, learning center, and empowering children are modern approaches being applied in the preschool education system of Sunshine Maple Bear.

The learning topics presented by teachers are very familiar, closely linked to children's daily lives such as animals, plants, family, self... Also from these lessons, children will be guided to connect with knowledge of daily life, develop language, calculation, and scientific skills. In particular, familiar and attractive topics will help children feel loved and interested, thereby understanding more deeply, more carefully and more easily remembered. More importantly, children will know how to apply this knowledge to daily life to form necessary skills.

According to Ms. Xuyen, with each topic, teachers will integrate knowledge and skills through specific games and activities. In each game, there is a goal of developing specific skills and knowledge. In particular, teachers pay great attention to stimulating curiosity, helping children receive lessons naturally and easily.

With many years of experience in preschool education, Ms. Xuyen believes that playing properly is actually an effective method to help children develop intelligence, emotions, physical fitness and language, this is also a way to help children feel excited in the process of acquising knowledge.

Personalize learning according to each learning center

Meanwhile, learning centers are places that create conditions for children to learn through hands-on activities. Teachers will build open learning corners, creating passion and interest for students to learn, explore and learn according to each topic they love.

Each corner of the learning is decorated and designed by teachers in an open direction so that children can operate comfortably. For example, in the class, there will be centers for learning about animal shaping and theme, in that learning corner, teachers will prepare paper, colored pencils, or recycled items to be able to "build" a farm. Or in the flower shaping corner, there will be lanes, colored paper, sticker, ... on the table to create a rich picture of that theme," Ms. Xuyen gave an example.

Ms. Ta Thi Xuyen believes that through these activities, children will develop comprehensively in skills, especially physical exercise skills in preschool children, in addition to developing communication skills, problem solving in groups, developing open and creative thinking. In particular, being free to choose their favorite topics and learning angles also helps children comfortably express their own personality.

At Sunshine Maple Bear, teachers always respect the opinions, choices and abilities of each student. Children have the right to decide, to try their mistakes and to adjust themselves, thereby forming for them confidence, independence, a sense of responsibility in work, towards comprehensive development, especially nurturing their passion for lifelong learning, a stepping stone for the next levels of education, Ms. Xuyen shared.

For children to baze in language

Developing bilingual skills early is the desire of many parents and also the goal that Sunshine Maple Bear is aiming for for preschool children.

Many parents who come to visit and learn about the preschool system of Sunshine Maple Bear were surprised to see students of grades 5-6 speaking English like the locals. The special thing about the bilingual program here is that teachers do not teach English, but create an environment for children to absorb the new language most gently and naturally.

We do not teach English, but let children swamm into English, creating an environment for them to listen to more and gradually absorb that language, thereby forming a natural reflex, children can understand and talk to teachers and friends in English, Ms. Xuyen shared.

Ms. Viktoriia Mikhailova, a teacher at Sunshine Maple Bear Kindergarten, shared: "At Maple Bear, children learn language naturally when surrounded by English in daily activities in class. The learning program integrates storytelling, singing, games and practical experiences to help children develop language skills in a fun and engaging way. This approach encourages communication skills, creativity and confidence in using English.
