Role of Social Interaction in Daycare Learning

I’ve always learnt that what a child learns in the first 6 years of his life is very important and I believe that it is probably common knowledge to all. But it was interesting to find out from an article that a child’s learning should not be done in isolation. In fact, the adult-child relationship also play a very important role in the learning process.

Research has indicated that social participation is the main activity through which learning occurs and children are more motivated to learn in an environment where social interaction is high. Parents and daycare teacher should therefore make provision to engage in age appropriate activities with their children, both to facilitate their learning as well as to encourage learning. Many key skills such as language skills and cognitive skills require a relatively high level of communication and interaction with adults. And such communications are important as it will lay the foundation for the child’s early learning abilities.
