BH Beginnings, March 2018

A LUCKY BREAK

By Jennifer Pawluk, Communications Specialist

While the rest of the school community was away for spring break in late March, the two-, three-, and four-year-old girls of Balmoral Hall discovered countless joys of learning as the campus was theirs to explore.

From camping out in a Reggio-inspired play area designed by BH Beginnings child-care staff to painting in the (quickly disappearing) snow, educational opportunities throughout these last two weeks were especially playful! They experimented with light, along with colour, through a variety of in-class experiments, too. Yoga was on their timetable, as well.

"I think what I am most impressed by, what is such an important aspect of the Reggio Emilia approach, is the time spent in discussion or examination," says Director Simone Penner. "These learning activities begin with dialogue, followed by research. We know that children are capable of extraordinary insights; they need opportunities to question, imagine, and create."
