Child-Centered Practices

Child-centered practices focus on understanding and respecting each child's individual needs, interests, and abilities. They involve engaging children actively in their learning and development, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and decision-making. This approach supports children’s emotional and social growth by valuing their perspectives and fostering a supportive environment. Educators and caregivers tailor activities and interactions to suit each child, promoting a positive sense of competence and confidence. Overall, child-centered practices prioritize the child's well-being and development as an active participant in their education and growth journey.
