The amount of development taking place during this age is endless. They become more independent and self-confident, they are more creative and imaginative, they develop an interest in numbers, they are content to play
with their toys for longer periods of time and eager to try new things.
When they get frustrated, they are also better able to express their emotions. 4-5 Year olds can dress themselves and can independently go to the toilet and brush their teeth.
New gross motor skills develop, such as skipping, jumping backwards or jumping while running. Their fine motor skills also improve, e.g. cutting with child safe scissors, using a fork, spoon and sometimes a knife, etc.
Our 4-5 year old learners are guided to learn through different forms of play,
such as imaginative, creative and musical play.
We read and tell stories, sing
songs, recite rhymes, build puzzles, extend vocabulary through themed
activities, paint and build structures and have fun with obstacle courses, etc.
We continue focusing on sensory development and stimulation by playing
sorting games, through messy play and exposing our children to different
textures.
Games are played to learn how to share and take turns.
Through our variety of activities our little ones are continuously developing their
concentration skills and abilities.
