Do you know the importance of play for your child’s learning and development?
Studies have shown that play is an important part of a child’s cognitive development benefiting areas such as language, mathematics and spatial skills, scientific thinking, and social and emotional development. The science of learning tells us that successful learning occurs when children are mentally active, engaged, socially interactive, and building meaningful connections to their lives.
Overall, happy students are much more likely to be successful academically. They are engaged, feel safe, and have a sense of belonging. The Early Childhood Program at American School of Bahrain (ASB) incorporates all these aspects, providing children with a unique play-based learning approach in a happy and vibrant environment.
The ASB campus is designed to promote experiential, play-based learning aligned with the latest educational research. Purpose-built, age appropriate furniture using natural, non-toxic wood creates a beautiful and functional learning space.
Trained, experienced early childhood educators employ the award-winning US Creative Curriculum to develop young minds. In addition, a holistic approach means that ASB develops children not just academically, but also physically as well as socially and emotionally.
The learning experience starts as soon as children arrive. They are personally greeted by the staff with smiles on their faces – stimulating and encouraging their social skills right from the get-go.
The spacious facilities with open plan learning pods allows for collaboration and project-based learning while including the integration of technology for modern learning opportunities.
A popular spot for the children is the “breakout room” which provides multiple modes of learning through child-initiated guided interactive stations. Another child favourite is the STEAM room, where they can explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math using a holistic approach.
There is also a mock traffic road for children’s bikes, a mud oven, as well as a heated pool designed specifically to develop swimming skills and safety awareness in the water.
The American School of Bahrain fully grasps the concept of making learning fun!
