Preschool 1
Preschool 1 (2.5 yrs- 4yrs)
During the preschool years, children start to develop initiative and a sense of accomplishment: they need to do things on their own and plan. Gradually, through repeated actions of play, with variations, in different contexts or on different kinds of objects, children learn to differentiate, compare and integrate elements, think in cause-and-effect terms as well as plan their play/actions. Preschoolers are able to make not only simple verbal categorizations but also while manipulating concrete materials they can indicate two or three common features at the same time.
