Children learn by doing. Through active involvement with their environment, children
attempt to make sense of the world around them. They learn by observing what happens
when they interact with materials and other people. They spontaneously engage in
activities such as block building, painting, or dramatic play, adding pieces of information
to what they already know and thereby generating new understandings. Children learn
simple concepts and then use these concepts to grasp more complex ideas.
Young children view the world concretely, and as they mature, their view changes. What
they know at any given point will depend on the first-hand experiences they have had.
By interacting with their physical environment (indoor and outdoor) and their social
environment (other children and adults), they continually broaden their frame of
reference.
