Nurturing Love Of Learning In Children

Traveling alone with my preschooler son for the first time in a week was a challenging yet intentional choice. Guided by his continual “why” and “how” questions, I prepared a tour to explore village life and surroundings. Motivated by Jean Piaget’s constructivist theory, which focuses on learning through effective interconnection with others and their own experiences. Maria Montessori’s theoretical outlook emphasizes child-centred, hands-on learning, where children explore and discover at their own pace. So, linking these theories with experiential learning as the process of learning by doing, we happily occupied two seats on the bus from Kathmandu to Gulmi. With this journey, I expect to disclose how experiential learning play a role in young children's hands-on experiences, hence nurturing curiosity and fostering fruitful learning.
