Process Play
Process play in the Maui Prep classroom allows preschoolers to learn how things work, different roles in the home, school, and community, and to experiment without pressure to achieve a certain result. The process of each classroom activity is where the real education happens.
The teachers allow time for unstructured and open-ended activities that allow children to explore and develop at their own pace. As a result, they build confidence in their abilities, become comfortable with making mistakes and trying things multiple times, and feel accomplished in their efforts.
How our classroom encourages process play:
- Dress-up corner
- "Business" center
- Construction zone
- Art center
- Outdoor preschool garden
