In our trip we take into our account all conditions that facilitate benefits of learning:
1-To have a clear educational purpose that can be achieved that are related to the needs and interests of the child.
2-To be under close supervision and take the time in our account .so we head to our children mothers' to develop in the exploration skill.
For that the most important place that the children have to visit in early age is the zoo it is so interesting visit iage .it is not only for fun but for learning also. If your child is between two years to three years so that is the time to teach him about animal's world so we yearly must visit the zoo.
Some of the things that he can learn at the zoo:

The similarity between the animals and human beings in eating , it's need to the mother .then make him realize that he is different from animals in other things like " birds have feathers " "do you have feathers " . then ask him to think in the animals that have one color like frogs , tortoise, and snakes let him compare between them in size sounds , so like that you can use the animals to give the children the example to the skills that he must learn in his age like numbers , sounds of the alphabets .He can also learn the meaning of responsibility in your help to him to take care of birds in your house so he can give those seeds and water. You can make him feel that he is responsible for something in his young age.

Cooking skills

In our nursery each teacher prepares a meal once a week, for example we can make cakes, biscuits, fruit salad and making sandwiches.
The process of making food is not related only to food and health but science, chemistry and math.
He also learns about counting, weight and measuring the component when he makes the flour with salt and water. Through making bread   and but it in the oven he can see how is heat important in cooking things. He also learns comparison, dividing, equal, subtracting, and adding through distributing the bread among them
It develops language through knowing the names of the components of each recipe it gives him new vocabulary words.

                                 

                                                      

because the child sees the vegetables and fruits, he also can identify the shape, color



 Taste and smell. And He can differentiate between salty, sugar and sour taste

like smooth in touching ( eggplant – cucumber and apple ) , rough through touching ( orange – lemon and cauliflower) that means that cooking develop their ability to feel through sense of touch

Activities and Skills Department

Al Bustan Nursery implies as a core goal in empowering the children to integrate and sharpen their talent and enhance their performance through various educational program. One of the basic tools is Arts, Crafts and physical exercise.

THE BENEFIT OF ARTS & CRAFTS

Children naturally love art & crafts, such as: painting, drawing, cut and paste of craft gives them skills to express and develop their imaginative thinking. This important activity of arts builds the children’s brain.

Physiologically, the human brain is divided into left and right cerebral hemispheres. The left brain is used in logical thinking and analytical processes. This is typically what is trained in school work that consists of math, reading and science. The right brain is used in emotional perception, intuition and creativity.

 It is the right brain that is mainly used when a person is involved in creative endeavors such as making art.

It is shown that when gifted kids solve problems in their areas of giftedness, there is increased electrical activity in both hemispheres. It appears that for the brain to be efficient, the two hemispheres of the brains must work together. By stimulating and exercising the right hemisphere of the brain, the arts strengthen the connection between the hemispheres. Kids should be exposed to the arts as their cognitive skills mature so that their right brain will be as developed as the left, and both hemispheres work in tandem, thus achieving the full potential of the mind.

Aside from the physiological effects, the following lists benefits of exposing children to art:

♦    The children learn to think creatively, with an open mind

♦     The children learn to observe and describe, analyze and interpret

♦     The children learn to express feelings, with or without words.

♦      The children practices problem-solving skills, critical-thinking skills, language and vocabulary of the arts

♦      The children discover that there is more than one right answer, multiple points of view

♦     The children can have fun – playing can be learning

♦      The children learn to collaborate with other children and with adults

♦      The children can blossom and excel in the arts.  Even with physical, emotional or learning challenges can experience success.

♦     The children build confidence.  Because there is not just one right way to make art, every child can feel pride in his or her original artistic creations.
