Luvuyo Centre for Early Childhood Development and Care seeks to create a safe learning space for children, and we want them to explore as much as possible by providing with educational books and toys.
This is important for most classroom activities - as in writing, for example, where the child must know the alphabet and how words are formed by combining letters. The child must then transform this knowledge into action – gripping, stabilizing and moving the pencil. The child’s perceptual skill of sight will be used to adjust the movements to create the required pattern or shape. This example illustrates how the mind and body must work together.
Performing physical activities also build neural pathways and the more neural pathways the brain has, the easier it is to learn. Perceptual-motor skills are necessary and important in preparing the child’s brain for learning – they build that strong base to support future academic learning.
We continue this year with trying to fundraise more for our children and ask that you continue to support us.
