Childhood is an exploring age. From the moment they start to walk and talk, they learn through touching, observing, questioning and experiencing the surrounding world. This is what makes activity-based learning the core of early learning particularly among children between 2 and 8 years.

In a child’s first school experience, playschool or preschool learning should feel joyful, safe, and engaging. Activity-based learning at Mosaic International Preschool helps children to learn concepts in a natural way and develop confidence, curiosity and a passion to learn.

1. What Is Activity-Based Learning in Early Education?

Activity based learning in early education is based on learning through play, movement, creativity and hands on experiences as opposed to formal learning or memorisation.

Children are not sitting and listening long hours, but they learn through:

● Games and activities based on play.

● Story telling, rhymes and music.

● Art, craft and exploration of senses.

This method will enable the young children to be directly involved in the learning process thus learning becomes meaningful and enjoyable. It also facilitates various learning styles and enables children to learn at their own pace.

2. Better Understanding and Long-Term Learning 

In situations where young children are engaged in the learning process, they learn better and retain the knowledge longer. Role play, sorting games, storytelling and learning with objects are some of the activities that enable children to relate ideas with real life experiences.

For example:

● Learning counting with toys or blocks.

● Learning language with the help of stories and songs.

These methods help children:

● Visualise concepts easily

● Improve memory and recall

● Study without stress or anxiety.

This soft method instills confidence at a young age and makes the learning process a pleasant experience at an early age. This more profound knowledge minimizes the learning stress and creates academic confidence at a tender age.

3. Encouraging Creativity and Independent Expression 

Activity-based learning provides freedom to young children to express themselves. Imagination and originality are acquired through imaginative activities like drawing, painting, music, movement and pretend play.

This type of learning will help children to:

● Explore ideas freely

● Make choices independently

● Be able to express thoughts and feelings.

Early education can foster the development of curiosity and confidence traits in children by enabling them to explore and develop new ideas, which can be used throughout their lives and further development.

4. Building Social and Communication Skills Early 

A lot of the learning activities based on activities include group games and activities. Such interactions assist the young children to acquire the necessary social and communication skills in a natural and supportive manner.

Children learn: through group activities, they learn:

● Sharing and taking turns

● Receiving others and responding to them.

● Collaborating and making friends.

Such social interactions enable the children to acquire emotional intelligence and develop good interpersonal skills at an early age.
