| Instructional Strategies |  |
The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), recommends that children experience an organized environment and a planned routine (schedule) providing structure so that learning takes place. The classroom environment should be engaging and changing within this predictable structure.
Instructional strategies used in the classroom must engage children's curiosity, motivate them to practice newly developing skills and challenge them to think critically while problem solving in the classroom.
"The most important of the aspects of a child's preschool education is the integration of the developmental domains into a challenging, stimulating and rewarding experience that provides every child with a contextually meaningful foundation of knowledge and skill on which they can build in their later years."

Trehearne, 2004
