Whole Child Development is defined as follows, by Mulberry.org:
Development has several inter-related dimensions. These include physical, cognitive, social, spiritual and emotional development, each of which influence the other and all of which are developing simultaneously. Progress in one area affects progress in others. Likewise when something goes wrong in any one of those areas it impacts all the other areas. For example, children who are malnourished are not able to learn; children with learning problems frequently have low self-esteem, etc. Developing a program based on an understanding of holistic development means taking the whole child into consideration, providing attention to the child's health, nutrition, cognitive, and socio-emotional needs.
In our preschool's classrooms, children are provided with a variety
of outlets and opportunities that enhance a variety of developmental areas
that incorporate a "whole child" approach.
Check out the following links focused on several of those areas
to discover why we do what we do!
