Understanding the Role of Holistic Child Development in Play School

Holistic child development is an all-around growth of a child that nourishes better human qualities and adds value to their lives.

The early childhood days are a clean slate and therefore what we write on it becomes important. It’s a perfect chance to mould them in the right direction and it is only possible by catering to different aspects of their growth.

Following aspects are considered for the holistic child development

  1. Transformative Approach

The concept of holistic development promotes the idea of holism taking a transformative approach to impart education. Here’s when the education evolves beyond the usual surface of being a transmission and transactive process.

Such approach shifts the reference frame from ‘what children have’ to ‘what they should be’. A holistic approach transcends the children’s world view, mental habits, and their perception altogether.

  1. Connections, Not Fragmentations

Holistic learning involves shifting students from the idea of fragmentation to connections. It eliminates the idea of division based on grades, intelligence, social strata or anything. The feeling of oneness thrives by keeping the group integrated into everything and everyone.

Such an education poses is a totally different Preschool of thought that doesn’t isolate the learning process into multiple components. The major differentiator between a mediocre and a holistic classroom lies in how it is structured fundamentally. The holistic classrooms tend to have a small group of children in session and are often a mix-bag with varied ability, age and behavioral dimensions.

3. Community Development

Children learn a lot about themselves through relationships and learning. The concept of community development and harmony is thus vital to the holistic child development.

A holistic classroom is itself a community which is a subset of the larger community, the school which again is the subset of a city and this is how it extends till the general human community. A sense of belongingness amongst children will ensure instilling community values and social confidence.

Moulding children during early ages require teachers to ensure that all these are taken care of and hence imperative to implement the same in school and daycare, both.
