8 PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION PRESCHOOL



1. The World is a children play

Marzollo, & Lloyd said every child born has a curiosity, imagination has a natural and creative, have the ability to learn, interact with people / objects in the environment. Education must be conducted in accordance with the age level of growth and development, so that children can develop properly. Patmonodewo 2001, in daily life activities play so easily observed, but in some situations be difficult to play with activities not play. Play a limitation as follows: Play is not working; play is ostensibly not something that seriously, not a productive activity and so forth, so the children can play that are formed so that the world is often considered to be real, genuine, productive and resembles the real life. Playing in the framework of school can be described as a continuum that culminate in the free play, play in the guidance and the play ends with the drive. According to Seto Rahmawati in 2001, the play of life is the life of children, and through play they imitate the activities of adults. Play is the beginning of the emergence of creativity. Thus, the atmosphere of play allows individuals to think and act imajinatifdan full power hayal. Thus creativity can be enhanced with the children develop a variety of activities and play atmosphere. Parents and teachers can play an active role to play through the atmosphere to create attitudes appreciate, to give freedom to the children.

2. Touches all aspects of development (Physical, cognitive, emotional, social, and language).

* Physical

Koralek 1995; Syah Armstrong in 1995 and h
olds the growth and development of the child touches all aspects of development. The development of physical activity is determined on a case involving the movement of the brain. In short can be physical as well understood in all circumstances involving the stimulus or activity of the physical organs.
• cognitive

Koralek et al 1995, Syah 1995 & 2002 Armstrong holds kongnitif comes from the word congnition Knowing that means knowing the pattern developing. And next term cognitive become popular as a world of psychology or human behavior that includes every mental-related understanding, consideration and processing of information problem-solving.
• emotional

Shapiro 2001, holds true in the emotional role in the start of rearing and educating children. That the skills of emotional EQ to make the same high-spirited children in learning to love in by friends in the arena and play help children to come forward.
• Social

Koralek Kartono et al 1995 & 1995, the child's ability to be able to socialize with people and objects in the environment. Child is a personal social relationship and that requires communication with other people to treat themselves, with that he can develop into adults.
• Languages

Koralek Semiawan et al 1995 & 2002, the language as a means to express themselves (the expression) is also capturing thoughts and feelings of others. Primarily speak a language development is also very influenced by the emotional life. The development of language related to the intellectual development of children.


3. Respect individual differences.

Kartono, held since 1995 children have been born characteristics and behavior, karekteristik the individual. The characteristics of the characters there is a birth that tends to remain very strong stand up to adults. Then the child will show the value and dignity of their own. We must acknowledge that the individual child is different, then this shows the individual differences in values and differences in children that is supported by differences in value systems lead to differences in child response of each child against the influence of the environment, business counseling and education.

4. Develop self (attitude / you / your child about your own).

According Savere 2000, Develop self to the child can be done in a way: Show the child that it is important to treat it with respect. Invite your children that you try to attempt it was very important for success, perseverance is useful. Invite your children to receive benefits as well as lack of. Invite your child to the frustration, chaos is part of life. Invite your children will love to support himself, became good friends for himself is important. Invite your child to appreciate the reasons for living, the reasons for the relationship.


5.
Non-discriminatory (Race, religion, race, gender)

According Kartono 1995, in the first phase of the material and spiritual children have not been separated, meaning that children can not understand the difference / which is the union unanimously. Therefore penghayatan expressed freely, spontaneous and honest in every movement, behavior and language.
According Patmonodewo 2001, through the observation of children playing on the women and men said that the way they play shows the difference. Some experts argued that the difference has been taken since birth (genetic factors). Meanwhile, other experts say that the difference is caused due to nurture a different way since the child was born. As a teacher in education is not recommended for pre distinguish facilities & activities play between boys and girls. Thus, each child will get the opportunity to develop a wide range of activities in and play skills.

6. Involving children growing environment (both parents, family, and society)

According to Brazelton 1992 & Patmonodewo 2000, parents (father-mother) is the person who first formed a relationship with the child, even as their parents have a different choice, namely the role of parents as teachers, volunteers, as decision makers and members of the team cooperation of teachers -parents. In the role allows parents to help improve the growth and development (emotional behavior), progress (interest & talent) of their children.
Koralek dkk 2001 & Shapiro 2001, the growth and development supported by the family. The process in which the family use all their capabilities. Invites children to provide a precedent: a role in the family included in the problem-solving. Families should be fair, respect, honesty so that children can imitate. In the family must encourage the development of emotional & social skills for their success. Patmonodewo 2001, many different people around the children can be distinguished in age, sex, occupation, and education level. Child's environment better when people in the surrounding educated than the educated who do not.

7. Freely without coercion


Koralek Rahmawati et al 1995 & 2001, Children can do things without any pressure from parents and teachers. Children must be subject diangggap by family or by the education world. So that the child is able to express themselves, the content and make them believe in themselves, capable of pouring imagination. Dare to express himself with the child will be creative.
8. Secure and protect

According Koralek et al 1995, Children feel secure when children grow in the environment (parents, schools and communities) condescend. With in the environment that supports the development of the child so the child that has become a personal sense of self confidence, able to express themselves in a positive way, so that children feel free to develop
interests, talents and creativity. Patmonodewo 2001, adding the school must also be available materials, space, a safe physical environment affects children, so it will feel free and not afraid to develop creativity.


PRESCHOOLS

Have a mother, who has completed a master's degree, has come after the child psychologist for consultation.The result at the age of three years, the motor ability of children considered to be equivalent to a child who is less than two years.

"How might our children behind? How careless psychologists taking such a conclusion?" said a mother in the workroom. "Do not, do not, psychologists, students who used the nick in the Out-Droup with a mediocre GPA. Why should we believe?" said the mother shed a sense of sorts.

Couples that come to the trauma psychologist. Visits and consultations only take place once the course. The mother did not need to assume any therapy, because the only problem is that his son carried gingerly. Not a serious problem, so the mother thought.

Time running, The mother continues to wrestle with the rush and the children are grown under the care of baby sitters are always eager to explore channels for the tv channel. He grew up behind the walls of her house is always locked the meeting.

At the time of pre-school age children the school will be included in the Preschool. Then brought the child to see the school but the children reject it. Rejection is considered as reasonable. Moreover, the first father and the mother was also never kindergarten school.

Was time the children enter elementary school. Terms entrance to the school the child must be in its maturity test must be met so that the psychologist again. Test on the maturity of the child in the mother and father did not want the schools. From the results of the test revealed that the child can not receive incoming primary school. That the children are and can not socialize. The parents try membawannya to another school, but the results were no schools that would receive them. There are suggestions that his son disekolahkan in special schools. Finally, the new mother feel restless.

This is an irony. Someone who did not realize that the higher the education the child is not starting at the elementary school. And children's education is not the instant case. He just did not realize that before memeasuki formal education in schools, a child needs to prepare mentally and emotionally. Fall love, fall-care, soft soap, will be the basic element which is very important.

Home should be a place of education in pre hone emotional skills. However, the situation at home is often less feasible. Father and mother who is busy or less understand the concept of pre education, the less educated nanny, inadequate facilities, and lack of friends to mingle and socialize practice.

I hope this experience can be lessons for us all. At this time children can still be formed and adapted to the social atmosphere, where he is in the push and dibiasakan to think. At the time this is the intellectual child experiencing very rapid growth which will never experience again in the next.

5 CURRICULUM MONTESSORI SCHOOL PROGRAMS


Approach Preschools Education: Montessori

The small sign in the pre. With so many options now pre period, does not wonder if you are confused choose the right school for the small. This is a reference program for Montessori schools.

Here the children learn to do their tasks or jobs that fit with her interest. Options' work 'that they can select, including in such books, puzzles, art activities, play the test spatial relationships, and many more. They are given the freedom to do so together in groups, or work alone.

Interaction that occurs is more interaction between the children themselves. Not even closed the possibility of Montessori schools in the program are children who are older age, which helps children or young people, learn new abilities.
