While I was making these hats I wondered if I am overdoing this kind of activities like -making teaching materials, giving to children, taking photographs and posting. But it’s my heart which says continue and don't stop. It’s my recently developed passion and I am enjoying every bit of it. I thank my preschoolers who are always hungry for new activities.
In Nepal we have course books for preschoolers. We are confined to these books and try to complete the course on time. We even mark them fail and do not upgrade them. I did the same until recently when I started my own preschool.
I remember I had 38 preschoolers to handle all by myself and even if I had made these kind of materials it won't have being possible in such a large group.
Right now I have pressure from parents who want their children get through reputed schools in Kathmandu. There are coaching centers running classes for entrance exam in grade one. I feel they are teaching more than what a child would learn in grade one.
As for me I feel preschoolers mean getting ready for school and not learning grade one course.
Well I am trying to make few changes even if small to make each child’s moment here in the preschool enjoyable and memorable.
I made these colorful hats for matching inspired by Dr. Seuss-“The Cat In The Hat”
