What does our high quality environment mean to you?

Footsteps to Learning.

Research has shown that many factors play a crucial role in a child's brain development from conception through the first five years. It's now well known that besides children's genes, the richness of their early environment will significantly determine their later behavior and development.

Children in a poor-quality preschool environment tend to engage in more unfocused play, passive and aimless wandering, and aggressive behavior. In this kind of classroom environment, teachers, functioning as custodial caregivers, spend more of their time managing children by constantly redirecting them from unsafe, unacceptable and aggressive behavior. On the other hand, a well-designed, rich and interesting environment supports exploration and enables them to engage in more extended, focused, and self-directed play.

Skills that children acquire through active involvement with their environment during their first few years will form the foundation of their learning for the rest of their lives.
We have to understand that for young children, enjoyable play and education go hand in hand. Before they can learn all they want and need to learn, young children must learn how to learn. They must figure out for themselves how to absorb information from the environment. Since each child has his own unique style of learning, this cannot be achieved through instruction. Young children, through play and stimulating activities, discover for themselves which strategies are most effective.

It is also proven that young children's educational development is not like climbing a ladder, where reaching one rung is a signal to move immediately up to the next. On the contrary, it's more like building a pyramid, where the higher levels must be fully supported by the lower ones.

Therefore during the early years of birth to five, children need to be given the means and opportunities to build a strong foundation for later success in academic achievement.

With these research based facts in mind, Best Beginnings is established to provide young children with a stimulating, nurturing, and supportive environment. Best Beginnings modern and high tech building and curriculum have been designed with children in mind to provide a learning environment rich with opportunities to challenge their imaginations and creativity on the way to their exploration of the world.
