Children build learning

For children, play is work.

Through play, they learn about
themselves and the world. In fit-
ting blocks together they do more
than build an imaginary castle —
they teach themselves about bal-
ance and shape, learning they can
manipulate items to translate the
images in their minds into physical
reality. :

That is the philosophy behind
Sidney Preschool, a non-profit
parent participation organization
which celebrates its 20th anniver-
sary this year.

“Children are born with natural
creativity and curiosity,” says Gle-
nice Barber, an early childhood
educator who has taught at the
preschool since 1984.

‘The cooperative
sef-up offers a
unique opportunity
for parents fo gef.
away from busy
home lives or work
and fo share a.
very special fime
in their child’s
development’

“Our aim is to nurture these
qualities through the child’s most
natural behavior — play.”

On any day at the preschool,
children aged three and four can
be found painting, stacking blocks,
donning costumes, solving puz-

ing at books.

The preschool provides separate
classes for both three and four-
year-olds. Parents also gain a new,

different perspective on learning,

many through helping at the pre-_

school.

Unlike many preschools, Sidney
Preschool is a cooperative venture

with parents responsible for all the

administration and fundraising.

~The cooperative set-up offers a
unique opportunity for parents to
get away from busy home lives or
work and to share a very special
lime in their child’s develop-
ment,” Barber said.

“An extra benefit is that chil-
dren learn to be comfortable and
confident with different adults as
well as with their peers.”

PARENTS ARE PARTINERS in the operation of Sidney Preschool.
