Early Learning is a process our children begin at birth.We as parents play an important role in our children's early learning and can influence their lifelong learning process as little or as much depending on what we do with our children. This first learning will have an influence on their lifetime development.
A definition of learning from the MacQuarie Dictionary explains learning as: "acquiring knowledge of or skill in something by study, instruction or experience" From the time they are born children are gaining knowledge and learn new skills from what they see and sense around them. Children learn everyday, they gain their knowledge and skills through watching what adults and other children are doing and saying around them and by exploring the environment around them.
Early learning is an active process and children being children are always throughly involved in what is happening around them.
It is in these early years that our children learn the most. You've probably heard the expression that their 'brains are like sponges'. Well this is true, it is a time where they absorb the most from all around them. Sometimes, unfortunately, they pick up more than we bargain for.
During this stage, they will begin to develop socially, emotionally, physically and their personality will emerge.
Providing lots of fun experiences, opportunities for play, encouragement, support and unconditional love will help your child in their learning process - leading them to explore, to learn and to grow.
