Standard 01

1. Know Every Child

Learn each child's name, interests, strengths and support needs. Never compare children negatively. Record progress regularly.

Standard 02

2. Create a Loving Classroom

Greet children warmly each morning. Use encouraging words ("You can do it!"). Avoid shouting, humiliation, or threats.

Standard 03

3. Teach Through Play

Allow children to explore, build, pretend, draw, sing and experiment. Play is the essential way young children learn.

Standard 04

4. Develop Language Skills

Talk throughout the day. Read stories daily. Ask open-ended questions: "What do you think will happen next?"

Standard 05

5. Make Learning Fun

Combine music & movement, art & crafts, storytelling, puzzles, outdoor play, counting games, and role play.

Standard 07

7. Manage Behaviour Positively

Replace harsh scolding with constructive guidance: "I see you are upset, let's talk." Teach sharing, turn-taking, and empathy.
