What is child-centered education? How does it aid holistic development?

What is child-centered education? How does it aid holistic development?

Parents today have high expectations from schools. They want their children to not just excel academically but also to become well-rounded individuals. Students, too, have their own aspirations. They want to learn at their own pace, explore their interests, and have fun while doing it. Recognizing these needs, schools are increasingly adopting flexible methods and customising activities to cater to each child’s unique learning style. This is why there is an importance of child-centered education across India.

Importance of child-centered education in schools gains momentum

The Shri Ram Universal School, is one of the best CBSE schools in Bengaluru that has a hands-on approach towards child-centered education. It meets parental approval in several ways.

This blog explains how the teachers and staff are at the forefront of modernising this new system.

Understanding the need for a holistic approach

Child-centered education is a pedagogical approach that focuses on the needs, interests, and abilities of the child. It prioritises the holistic development of the child, encompassing their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth.

Key characteristics of child-centered learning approaches include:

Learner-focused environment: The classroom is designed to meet the individual needs of each child.

Active learning: Children are encouraged to explore, experiment, and discover through hands-on activities.

Collaboration: Students work together to solve problems and share ideas.

Respect for individual differences: The teacher acknowledges and values each child’s unique learning style and pace.

Holistic development: Emphasis on physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth.

Holistic child development begins in early school life

Holistic child development goes beyond the classroom

Today holistic education is beneficial to all students. We understand that besides the core academics children learn to adjust in society. Our teachers play a big role in this approach. When a child can be emotional, ethical, and social it will be good for the society as well. A single child reflecting on the action can have a positive effect on the growth as a human being.

Beyond academics, child-centered education also focuses on life skills. In our school we add and support the following ways:

Cultivating soft skills for students like communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking.

The timetables are flexible, allowing for a balance of academic subjects and activities that foster creativity and physical development.

Exposure to extra-curricular activities like music, art, and sports further contributes to the child’s overall growth.

As one of the Best CBSE schools in Bengaluru, we keep evolving with the needs of the students.

Why is this approach so important?

Child-centered learning approaches empower children to be active participants in their learning journey. They can get exposure to: 

Self-discovery and identity formation: Children explore their interests and strengths.

Responsibility: They take ownership of their learning and behaviour.

Social skills: They learn to cooperate, share, and empathise with others.

Emotional intelligence: They develop self-awareness, empathy, and resilience.

Risk-taking and problem-solving: They are encouraged to explore new ideas and find solutions. 

A good modern school like ours embraces the principles of child-centered education. By nurturing the whole child, these schools equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. They prepare them not just for exams, but for life.

Storytime is more than just a delightful activity; it’s a cornerstone of early childhood education that plays a significant role in shaping young minds. Through engaging narratives and vibrant illustrations, children begin to develop crucial literacy skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. At One Step Ahead Learning Center, our child care services in East Orange, New Jersey, emphasize the importance of nurturing early literacy from a young age.

Toddler Color Lesson 🫧🌈🌤️✨

Intro: Review colors first - this allows you to establish a foundation. (I suggest adding them on the wall in their room!) Then sort toys by color together. Some good options are cars, food, or blocks. *I like to leave them sorted so after the lesson they are more inclined to name colors as they pick them out*

READ: Happiness Is A Rainbow *or any color/rainbow book* talk to your little one about the different animals, colors, and elements in the book. Try to keep them engaged by pointing, making sounds, and animating your voice.

Watch: Start with Ms.Rachel I Love the Rainbow, then sing and dance through other color focused favorites *I usually cut on the playlist below for educational screen time while I set up our color area.*

Color: Pick a coloring sheet that has as many elements from the book as you can. Talk about and name all of these colors and animals. +Bonus: Do animal walks or sounds for any in the book.

Free Play - let your little color until their heart is content, then switch at some point to free play with the same sorted toys from earlier.

My tips:

Adjust based on your kid’s interest and attention span. For example, I try to get 15 minutes at a time of learning but if he isn’t into the activity I’ll move on to the next one. I suggest set up the color area during the first video and try to wait until the longer videos for the actual color session.

Swap the books & videos for any you love or think apply - The options are endless! 🌤️🫶🏽✨

I am not trying to sell you anything (THIS IS FREE!) I used to be an educator and as a parent, I am very passionate about parents being their child's 1st teacher. I do small lessons like these with my child daily and after 8 months he knew his colors, alphabets, numbers, and left from his right.

On one hand, Young Justice is kind of neglected by the actual superheroes that should be looking out for them in a lot of crucial ways and very much failed by the adults around them

But on the other hand Red Tornado straight up hosts a parent-teacher conference where their respective legal guardians all show up, barring Batman who’s in traffic so Nightwing fills in instead because Robin’s dad does not know he’s a vigilante which is objectively hilarious

How to tackle chores when regressed :

Ello!! I’m here bc sometimes I find it sooo hard to check off my to-dos bc my liddol(s) out ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა

Here are some ideas for folks tht may be struggling getting up &&doing the tingz !!

♡ Print off a sticker chart !! Ik for me having external motivation aka cute lil stickers showing how good I’ve been can rly rly help !!

♡ Bring along your stuffie/favorite toy !! They’re your fren & wanna help u do the thing !!

♡ Play age-appropriate music & dance & sing along while u work !! This can make the thing feel less daunting & more silly & fun !!

♡ Have a kid-appropriate movie/tv show on in the background !! Just be sure to not get too distracted, little one !! ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

♡ Ask your cg for a reward if u complete all da tingz !! Rewards can be things like regression time w them that night, sweets, etc !! If u don’t have a cg, thts totally ok !! U can also do these things solo !! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

♡ Make urself a snack/meal first !! Ik for me sometimes the energy boost is definitely needed !! Some age-appropriate foods can be apple slices w peanut butter/caramel, mac n cheese, milk in a baba, etc !! Just stay healthy little ones !!

♡ This one’s may be harder for some, but try calling another liddol fren/someone who supports your regression if you’ve got any !! I’m lucky enough to have this option, it’s ok if u don’t !! But sometimes talking to somebody helps me get up & at’em !!

♡ Play a regression podcast !! This one’s good for those of us tht may not have a cg/regression buddies to talk to !! When I’ve been cg-less these have rly rly helped me !! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Feel free to add more, & have fun bein a good little kiddo !!
