Preschool Themes and Theme Units are a fun learning technique we can use when teaching children about certain subjects that have too much information
to take in all at once. Preschool Themes and Theme Units can be planned out for the duration of, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 week, a few days, or as long you think is needed for teaching.
When dealing with preschool children we may have a desire to try and teach them all the details about a particular 'Theme' or something else, thinking that if they hear about it now, they will be that much further ahead later on in elementary school.
The truth is that when we are teaching preschool aged children, we don’t want to overwhelm them with unnecessary deep facts. This is because children and preschoolers won’t retain information that is just thrown at them amongst other details they are told they need to know.
When it comes to preschoolers, keep it simple. Teach them the basics that are easy to understand and fun to learn. Children will learn the deeper facts when they get to elementary school and they will be further ahead in the sense that they know the basics, so the new information will be interesting, more age appropriate, and easier to retain. They can add this new information with the basics that you have taught them and they will really flourish.
Pre K Themes are great sources of Learning & Information for Children!
