.....born with equal capabilities. Children are nurtured by their parents and teachers to develop into social beings with unique competencies.Lesson One

Cognitive Development

Children acquire concepts about the world and boost their learning process

It is useful in shaping and developing visual perception. The process assigns meaning to objects seen

Children get to learn the properties of materials. They explore the cause-effect relationship (Bullard, 2010)

Language Concepts

Early art helps children to develop observation skills, understand how art, culture and history relate, internalize art techniques and generally come to appreciate and enjoy art

Just like it happens in language, art entails recording an idea or thought that can be relayed to another person. Consequently, art is considered to be the first written language of all children (Bullard, 2010).

Affective/ Aesthetic

Children can enhance their observation skills and learn art techniques and meaningfully relate art history and culture. They will, consequently enjoy and appreciate art and images. Children will cherish the elating feeling that emanates from the pleasure of art products (Bullard, 2010).

Fine and Gross Motor Skills

1.Motor skills are best honed by creative art activities (Bullard, 2010)

2. The creative art activities help children to develop self-confidence, experience success and feel proud.

Theme: Activities such as painting, sculpturing and drawing are at the heart of the programs at children's learning centers. Art develops children's learning process across several domains (Extension, 2015).

Name of Learning Center: Art Center in Child Care

Week: March

Age: 3-7

Science, Math and Sensory

Just like there are several ways to solve problems, there are several ways to teach information. Incorporating art into science will help children become better problem solvers through honing their creative potential and improve their creative art, math and science skills (UoH, 2013).

Social Development

1....

While experiencing art forms from various cultures, children develop the capacity to appreciate differences and learn something about these differences
2. Children have a chance to cooperate and collaborate with their peers while working on projects and murals (Bullard, 2010).

Individual Goals

1. To facilitate a nurturing and warm atmosphere in a safe environment in which the idea of self-concept is given a boost. Choices and independence are encouraged. Children acquire self-discipline and understand expectations and limits.

2. To provide an environment that encourages children to develop self-dignity (Wilson, n.d.).

3. To nurture active curiosity in every child, and stir enthusiasm for learning new things about the world through exploration and creativity (Wilson, n.d.).

Standards Addressed

Our learning and living environment is meant to satisfy the needs of the preschoolers. It is also meant to bolster their development by exposing them to age appropriate activities. Since the expectations of each child vary, because of their uniqueness, each of the children is presented with a challenge but is not hurried through. The general goals below should be achieved before entry by a child to kindergarten (Classroom Goals, 2017)

Part 1 -- Lesson Two

Child development research in modern day reveals that children are complex humans. The concept of outdoor classroom is built on such research findings. The approach provides a chance for the caretakers to provide activities that are meaningful to each child's needs. The activities make personal meaning to the children. The activities are also designed to help children develop as expected.

Cognitive Development

1. Nature is used to enhance a child's interest in math and science

2. Learning in enhanced through self-initiative, personal responsibility and self-control (Classroom Goals, 2017)

Language Concepts

A strong problem solving skills base and improved language through group activity and projects

Affective /Aesthetic

1. Appreciates…
