“I am Unique”
We acknoweledge the gifts that each child brings into the world, such as innocence, spontaneity, an inquiring nature and a natural motivation to learn and take great care to help children realise their full potential. We recognise that children pass through clearly defined stages of development and we aim to ensure that every child experiences success in their learning and relationship. We put children first and respect them as individuals.
Skill-based Development Through Scaffolded Learning
Scaffolded learning is new lessons and concepts which can be more readily understood and comprehended if support is given to a child as they are learning. It involves teaching a child something new by utilizing things they already know or can already do.
In Tinker Tots we use below strategies for successful use of scaffolded learning –
- Connect with real life situation
- Better understanding of use of gestures
- connect to previous experience
- Graphic representation
- Read aloud
- group/ Partner activities
- Use of First language
