Developing the young inquiring mind

“Young children have naturally curious minds and a yearning to ask lots of questions. They want to know how things work and why things happen. This is one of the ways in which they make sense of their world.

Questions are a powerful tool for educators to promote children’s thinking and learning. They exercise their sense of agency and develop complex problem-solving skills by asking questions and having opportunities to explore their curiosities.”

Ms Sarah Bethune, Head of Early Learning shares with us how the ELC takes an inquiry-based approach to our curriculum and developing the young inquiring mind, here.
