What are the principles of development suitability?

The principle of development suitability means that the creation of kindergarten environment should meet the needs of children's age characteristics and physical and mental health development, and promote the all-round and harmonious development of each child.

The principle of development suitability is an educational concept and practice strongly advocated by the American Association for Early Childhood Education after 1986. At that time, it was mainly aimed at the "primary school" tendency of early childhood education in the United States.

Pre-school education curriculum should consider children's needs and tailor the curriculum according to children's needs, rather than "tailor-made" children to adapt to pre-school education curriculum as it is now.

Theme wall decoration

In the creation of themed wall decoration, we should try our best to arouse children's "three natures", namely, enthusiasm, initiative and creativity. How to effectively mobilize children's "three natures" lies in making children truly become creators and designers of wall decoration.

When creating theme wall decorations, paying attention to children's own creation and personal experience is conducive to expanding and stimulating children's interest in learning, arousing children's curiosity of independent learning and active exploration, so as to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

There is also a quick way to design the theme wall in the experimental kindergarten of Beijing Normal University. That is to set up their own scientific discovery room directly for children and make everyone happy from the perspective of children, parents and directors.
