Have you seen any stacked cardboard boxes or hanging mobiles around the nursery covered in, what appears to be, very abstract art?
Our focus when doing artistic and creative activities with the children is never what the finished outcome is. While there is always an inspiration and meaning to creative activities, there’s usually very few instructions and order to the art that our children in the nursery produce. The important part of the creative process is just that; the process, not the product!
What was meant to be a spiders web or a herd of animals in the jungle probably looks a little more…unique. But that’s okay! What matters is that the children learned something from the action of doing.
It’s okay that the penguins beak is where it's feet are, and that instead of black and white, it's pink and green! Praise the creative freedom and remember that the learning comes from the process. #theinpsirephilosophy
As an eco nursery in Dubai who has been established in Jumeirah for the last 30 years, we are honored to welcome the next generation of students into the Kid’s Island Nursery in Jumeirah family and it is rewarding to hear parents say “I remember what it felt like when I experienced this at the nursery for the first time”. It is important to cherish your warm childhood memories and even more important to create new ones with your child.
