For children, an important transition takes place around their third birthday. In the first three years of their lives, they are mainly occupied with absorbing what happens in their immediate environment. This is often an unconscious and passive process. From around the age of three, children enter a new phase in which they actively participate in and with their environment. They consciously start partaking in all kinds of activities. This is paired with a visible improvement in perception and coordination skills as these skills become more refined. Their attention sharpens, and they can focus better and for longer.
We believe it is important to include three year olds in the Children’s House, so that have the opportunity to be stimulated by tasks that they are intrinsically interested in. This lays a solid foundation for future education.
