6. DIFFERENT PRESCHOOL TEACHING METHODS & TECHNIQUES USED WORLDWIDE 1-Playway Method:

7. 1- Play way Method: A very widely accepted and popular method of  Play school  teaching has been the playway method. Essentially, this school of thought believes that the best way of teaching a child is through taking up activities. The institutions rely heaving of activities such as role plays, virtual games, singing, free play and a lot more, to teach children. It is believed that such a method of learning brings exposure to the child in a friendly environment with no pressure at all. The focus is entirely on the needs of the child and the activities revolve around fulfilling such needs . Playway method has been widely accepted by educational institutions dealing with young kids in the age group of 3-5. It fits well with the commitment and aim of not burdening the kids with tasks they are not yet capable of performing .

8. 2- Reggio Emilia Method: Another school of thought or method of teaching adopted is the Reggio Emilia Method. Evolved in Italy, inherently, this approach also believes in teaching through activities. How the approach differs in the type of activities and the core values it promotes. The approach believes in & is aimed at enabling the child to make their own place in society. It encourages communication with others, forming relationships, and promotes the child to wonder. The class room acts merely as a catalyst that consists of material facilitating learning. The children are encouraged to communicate through music, art, dance, writing, and more. The parents are also involved in designing the curriculum and the entire progress of the child is recorded.

9. 3- Waldorf Method : Waldorf method is also another popular method of teaching evolved in Germany. The method focuses on enabling the child to grow through imagination. This school of thought believes in developing the ability of thinking and imagining among children. A child must be able to use their imagination and create through it. Thus, children are told stories, taken for walks, made to play games and create toys out of available material. The method of teaching kids grounds itself on the fact that reading and writing are not be introduced to children of such a small age and their education must be entirely oral and replete with creative imagination. There are also different age groups for which separate curriculum is subscribed. These age groups are 0-7yrs, 7-14yrs, 14-18yrs.

10. 4- Montessori Method: Named after Maria Montessori, first woman physician, this method, in its essence, deals with developing the personality of a child through sensory learning which includes touching, smelling, seeing, tasting, rather than learning and reading. The classroom includes such self correcting material, the use of which is demonstrated by teachers and re enacted by children. The activities are more work based rather than play based in the sense that the focus is more on reducing errors and promoting concentration abilities among children. Also, since it aims to improve the concentration abilities of children, the classrooms and material is aesthetically designed and gives a home like feeling to children .

11. 5- Bank Street Method: Bank street method is also among various methods adopted by teachers to enable children to learn. The method aims at overall development of child through first hand experiences. The primary difference between bank street method and playway method is the nature of activities involved. The former contains activities like puzzles, building blocks, clay, etc which enable a child to experience a given problem.

12. Thus, to conclude, there are various other methods of teaching too that have been adopted by different institutions around the world. Although different in approach, it is not always the case that these methods can be compartmentalized into clearly distinct ways of teaching. A lot of times different approaches can correspond at a certain level, also depending on the need of various children.  However, what these different methods reflect is the effort on part of the institution to deal with the needs of a child. These methods also reflect the need of engaging actively with a  preschool  for the sake of the child .
