Piaget's Theroy

Piaget's Theory

Piaget divides intellectual development into three periods:

Sensory-motor period (birth to 2yrs.)
Subperiod of preoperational operations (2yrs. to 7yrs.)

Concrete operations period (7yrs. to 11yrs.)

Formal operations period (11yrs. to 15yrs.)

By age two, the child is capable of representing things to him/herself using symbols in a rudimentary form.
Preoperational thought is not yet truly logical thought because the child is still guided by how things look.
Our cognitive curriculum is concerned primarily with the development of symbolic functioning during the preoperational thought (birth to 2yrs. & 2yrs. to 4yrs.)
All the rules, schedules, and actions taken at our place will be directed towards the implementation of the children's mental development, assuming Piaget's theory of intellectual growth, and applying a child development curriculum.
Parents are advised to read the book, "A Guide to Reading Piaget", by Molly Brearly and Elizabeth Hitchfield; New York: Shocken Books, 1966, so that all can understand how we approach the children through playing using a child development curriculum, but also applying the Piaget method for the cognitive development of the children.
