Noise!

An active child is a happy child!

As teachers, we believe activities that actively engage a child are worth having. Often that means our classroom may sound a little noisy. This kind of noise is music to our ears because it means the children are learning. One of the reasons active learning is so good for young children is because they are investigating an object or activity themselves. Investigating helps children develop interests in various subjects, self-confidence to figure out ideas on their own, language development, social interaction, and many more exciting things. How many times have we understood an idea simply because we have been able to touch or experiment with it? Children learn the same way.

We develop our classroom activities so the children can do lots of activities that help them develop many useful skills. Try a hands-on activity at home with your child and you may be surprised by how much they can learn–even if it is noisy!
