Preschool Methods

Tanya Dalton

Book Description: Preschool Methods was put together to enhance students knowledge around developmental domains for children 3-5 years of age while highlighting Capable, Confident, and Curious: Nova Scotia’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework.

We as early childhood educators are children’s guides while they develop, explore and make sense of the world around them. Through play preschoolers develop life skills that will transfer and scaffold their learning in all aspects of development for the rest of their lives.
