A
point of interest for parents is that kindergarten furniture still has an
impact on their child’s development, as many other things. Like what influence
younger children (those that are in daycare centers) these are still the
factors that play a significant part in their growth, physically, mentally and
emotionally.
Kindergarten
programs are generally offered for children between 4 and 5 years old. The main
goal is to prepare the young children for the next grade level in school. This
is the reason why teachers are already organizing their learning activities
related to the designed core programs.
Influences
However,
like what moves their younger counterparts, kindergarten-age kids are still
influenced by some of the main features in the pieces of furniture they are
using. These qualities help them in their concentration and interaction with
the other children their age.
Some
say the children feel the furniture that they are using is comfortable. In
turn, it helps them build their self-esteem with the total feel of the room and
the furniture inside, all scaled and designed for their needs.
Shapes
With
shapes that use household pieces as models, the familiarity of the forms helps
children find comfort as they interact with those around them. The main
language is in the soft curves and gentle angles they are used to at home.
The
feeling of being welcome is triggered by the familiar forms that they found at
home which can put them at ease even if they had been interacting with other
children their age in daycare centers. (Unless both parents are working,
daycare center don’t happen to these kids until kindergarten.)
Colors
Even
if these children are older, the colors of their surroundings (furniture,
floors, walls, etc.) had been found to help in their enjoyment of their stay
and the interest in the activities they are engaged in.
In
younger learners, the primary colors tend to have the most appeal in their
activities. Whereas the younger learners use the calming effects of the colors
to keep them engaged in their activities, the older kids (kindergarten age)
seem to be stimulated by them.
Environment
Pre-school
students (usually in daycare centers) are notably sensitive to their
environment. Their behaviors are often triggered by the space and the
surroundings they have.
Those
in the kindergarten years have already learned some discipline especially so
that there are now actual teachers for their lessons.
However,
given the same conditions as the pre-school kids have (furniture pieces lining
up a wall and creating an open space in the middle or some other form, the
older kids will not hesitate to be creative in using these as instant
playground for actual play.
In
the same manner, early child furniture still goes a long way in stimulating
them at this stage of learning.
Although
many children have passed and finished some daycare center years, kindergarten
kids (even if they later know the alphabet and count a few numbers) can still
be seen as doing the continuation of their curriculum of play-and
activities-oriented program.
Kindergarten furniture and other elementary factors can still influence them needlessly.
