The learning environment we provide supports the children as active learners and provokes their interest and inquiry. It takes account of children as individual, as well as their common patterns of learning. We take time to get to know each child as an individual. At all times we have to be constantly aware of what use the children are making of the activities and materials provided, so that we can judge the right time to step in and lead them forward, by asking open-ended questions, making suggestions, providing relevant knowledge, information and vocabulary or additional materials and resources. We spend a great deal of time listening to the talking with the children as they play.
