Cognitive Development
Cognitive development refers to the process of how an individual acquires,
organizes, and uses knowledge and mental abilities as they grow and
mature. It encompasses a wide range of cognitive skills and processes that
are essential for learning, problem-solving, reasoning, memory, and
understanding the world around us. Cognitive development occurs
throughout a person's lifespan but is most rapid during early childhood.
A structured and rigorous academic curriculum is designed to challenge
students' thinking abilities, problem-solving skills, and critical reasoning.
At AAPS we use problem-based learning approaches, where students
engage in hands-on learning experiences that require them to think
critically and apply their knowledge to real-world situations.
For young children, play is a natural way to explore the world around them
and develop their cognitive abilities. We encourage activities that involve
imaginative play, puzzles, building blocks, and games that require problem-
solving.
In addition to these fine motor skills, kids also learn to use their larger muscles, like those in
their arms, legs, back, and stomach. Walking, running, throwing, lifting, pulling, pushing, and
kicking are all important skills that are related to body awareness, balance, and strength. These
skills allow your child to control and move their body in different ways.
We help in child's physical development by providing opportunities for age-appropriate
activities. Plenty of opportunities to run around and play are provided to them for their gross
motor skill development. For fine motor skill development activities like picking, grasping things
up fitting them into slots, buttoning buttons, using scissors, holding a pencil, and do other tasks
with their fingers and hands are conducted every day in classes.
Physical development is influenced by nutrition and illness. So, we make sure your kids have
a healthy diet and regular wellness check-ups in order to promote proper child development.
