6. DIFFERENT PRESCHOOL TEACHING METHODS &
TECHNIQUES USED WORLDWIDE
1-Playway Method:

7. 1- Play way Method: A very widely accepted and
popular method of Play school teaching has been the
playway method. Essentially, this school of thought believes
that the best way of teaching a child is through taking up
activities. The institutions rely heaving of activities such as
role plays, virtual games, singing, free play and a lot more, to
teach children. It is believed that such a method of learning
brings exposure to the child in a friendly environment with
no pressure at all. The focus is entirely on the needs of the
child and the activities revolve around fulfilling such needs.
Playway method has been widely accepted by educational
institutions dealing with young kids in the age group of 3-5.
It fits well with the commitment and aim of not burdening
the kids with tasks they are not yet capable of performing.

8. 2- Reggio Emilia Method:
Another school of thought or method of teaching adopted is
the Reggio Emilia Method. Evolved in Italy, inherently, this
approach also believes in teaching through activities. How
the approach differs in the type of activities and the core
values it promotes. The approach believes in & is aimed at
enabling the child to make their own place in society. It
encourages communication with others, forming
relationships, and promotes the child to wonder. The class
room acts merely as a catalyst that consists of material
facilitating learning. The children are encouraged to
communicate through music, art, dance, writing, and more.
The parents are also involved in designing the curriculum
and the entire progress of the child is recorded.

9. 3- Waldorf Method: Waldorf method is also
another popular method of teaching evolved in Germany.
The method focuses on enabling the child to grow through
imagination. This school of thought believes in developing
the ability of thinking and imagining among children. A child
must be able to use their imagination and create through it.
Thus, children are told stories, taken for walks, made to play
games and create toys out of available material.
The method of teaching kids grounds itself on the fact that
reading and writing are not be introduced to children of such
a small age and their education must be entirely oral and
replete with creative imagination. There are also different
age groups for which separate curriculum is subscribed.
These age groups are 0-7yrs, 7-14yrs, 14-18yrs.

10. 4- Montessori Method:
Named after Maria Montessori, first woman physician, this
method, in its essence, deals with developing the personality
of a child through sensory learning which includes touching,
smelling, seeing, tasting, rather than learning and reading.
The classroom includes such self correcting material, the use
of which is demonstrated by teachers and re enacted by
children. The activities are more work based rather than play
based in the sense that the focus is more on reducing errors
and promoting concentration abilities among children. Also,
since it aims to improve the concentration abilities of
children, the classrooms and material is aesthetically
designed and gives a home like feeling to children.

11. 5- Bank Street Method:
Bank street method is also among various methods
adopted by teachers to enable children to learn. The
method aims at overall development of child through first
hand experiences. The primary difference between bank
street method and playway method is the nature of
activities involved. The former contains activities like
puzzles, building blocks, clay, etc which enable a child to
experience a given problem.

12. Thus, to conclude, there are various other
methods of teaching too that have been adopted
by different institutions around the world.
Although different in approach, it is not always the
case that these methods can be
compartmentalized into clearly distinct ways of
teaching. A lot of times different approaches can
correspond at a certain level, also depending on
the need of various children. However, what
these different methods reflect is the effort on
part of the institution to deal with the needs of a
child. These methods also reflect the need of
engaging actively with a preschool for the sake of
the child.
