Cognitive Development-Pre-K
While young children try to make sense of the world in their daily interations, they learn about science, technology, math and social studies.
In contact with reality, children start constructing the categories of object, time, cause and space. They are engaged in meaningful activities that stimulate the development of the logical mathematic structures, physical knowledge, and concepts of number, time and space. They acquire these notions by an operational construction involving the logical mathematic structures of classification, seriating, correspondence and conservation.
In their interactions with the environment and the people in it, children can establish relationships between cause and effect; they can compare and contrast; they can construct their own identity as protagonists in their culture; they can make better use of technology; and they can value their own participation in the process of acquisition of their knowledge.
