Things I believe in ..

"The best classroom and the richest cupboard is roofed by the sky." Margaret McMillan (1925).

"Children love to move and to be phyiscally active. They seem to derive a special, unique pleasure form running and jumping, twisting and turning and exploring their bodies' abilities and limits.!" Doherty (2003).

"How the brain develops is complex between the genes you are born with and the experiences you have .... Early interactions don't just create a context; they directly affect the way the brain is wired." Shore (1997).

"For most children, play is as effortless as breathing and as varied as the images on a kaleidoscope. Children's development of proficent use of language, social competence, complex thinking and creative problem solving occurs in parallel and intergrates with their play and development." Pronin, Fromber and Bergen (2006).

"A toddler wants to make things happen. He develops an interest in causality, the cause and effect relationship between objects. He wants to explore the effect of his action upon objects. To begin with, things seem random and in chaos. However, it is out of the chaos and endless possibilies that patterns and order emerge." Hughs (2006).

"For many reasons, it is worth cultivating creativity in babies, toddlers and young children. Young children who have learnt what it is to be creative and to create are beginning to see that they can deepen the enjoyment, fascination and commitment to meaning and living when they have found ways in which to put energy into their creative selves."
