importance of creativity in a preschool classroom?

Answer 1

I'm not sure there's a word to describe the importance of creativity in a preschool classroom.

I've never been a preschool teacher, never spent much time in that environment, but I have two little boys, ages 3 and 5. As almost all moms know, just getting them to sit and focus on something for around ten or fifteen minutes can at times be near impossible. That's with two generally well-behaved kids, not even trying to teach them something, just trying to get them to be semi-still for a few minutes.

Now, there are about 17 kids in my 3-year-old's class, and about the same number in my 5-year-olds class. So, not only are these women and guys (there are a few male teachers at my kids' school) charged with the work of just keeping 17 children from climbing the walls and jumping out windows, they manage to TEACH in the process. And they teach effectively and they teach real stuff. My children are coming home talking about Bible, science (bugs, volcanoes, etc.) and simple math. Thanks in part to Leap Frog Toys, my 5 year old is learning how to read and write.

Now, I don't know exactly HOW they do it, but in my mind, these men and women are miracle workers. I know for a fact I am not imaginative enough to figure out how to get a bunch of small children to learn a variety of subjects, but I do know that it is NOT like learning from around first grade on, involving spending a large part of the day sitting at desks and looking at books. I also know that any one activity will get boring to children, so you have the teachers getting the kids to behave enough to learn a variety subjects, and there have to be many varieties of teaching.

I'm in awe. It's one of the unexplainable miracles of the world to me. :-)

Answer 2

Children in preschool mostly learn through creative play. Creativity is a part of their daily lives. Creativity is the leading drive of our passions in life. So I would have to say it is highly important for creativity to be apart of the preschool classroom.

preschoolers easily memorize and understand things. it would be easier and more effective to them to learn if the way of teaching were creative. also, it would enhance their comprehensive level.
