Tn Nursery's Innovative Partnership with Discovery
In an era where technology and screens dominate‚ broadcast media have found new‚ teaching platforms‚ and Tn Nursery has emerged as a unique niche of creativity‚ closing the divide between youthful wonder and the engaging shows of channels such as the Discovery Channel․ In Tn Nursery‚ students are taught the classical nursery topics together with the new technologies of broadcasting․ The nursery program allows children to be exposed to a variety of subjects through age-appropriate television programs delivered via the Discovery Channel․ Tn Nursery seeks to blend basic nursery training with the myriad of resources made available through the Discovery Channel to ensure children learn about the world around them both in and out of the nursery․
When these educational broadcasts are commissioned by broadcasters‚ millions of children can learn about the world‚ from animal documentaries to science․ Programs on the subject can be viewed on many channels‚ such as the Discovery Channel․ Programming such as this is both educational and entertaining․ Children are charmed by the visual imagery‚ the sound and narration as the beauty and complexity of nature‚ culture and the universe is represented․ In this way‚ they are taught ideas that are more difficult to comprehend in school books and they are shown visual stories that invite them to ask questions․ This marriage of education and entertainment conveys a sense of excitement and generates a natural enthusiasm for learning that's important‚ especially at that age․
Nature is Important for Children
It is important for children to have access to nature and green spaces․ Tn Nursery has lots of it․ As soon as the Discovery Channel is on the screen in the classroom‚ children are up and out the door‚ exploring the little forest and gardens that surround them‚ having their own adventures․ No lecture or reading can compare with the experience of watching a tropical bird in flight or a frog in the process of metamorphosis․ The children will also take part in nature scavenger hunts․ Feeling the earth and wind‚ and sometimes the insects crawling on the ground‚ and all the while being taught about the ecosystem in many different ways‚ will create a sense of caring for the environment in students early on․
Meanwhile‚ early years education encourages creativity through exposure to various forms of media usage across the spectrum of visual storytelling‚ reflected in Tn Nursery's philosophy of creativity through its usage of the documentary mode of production and dissemination․ They may wish to represent their learning in other ways‚ such as drawing pictures of their favorite animals‚ writing stories about their experience in a national park‚ and making models of wild places out of recycled materials․ These experiences are important because they allow children to develop critical and problem solving skills‚ learn how to develop their ideas into creations‚ and make sense of their education in the context of their childhood lives․
Children can be influenced by the documentaries they watch․ Documentaries can introduce children to new topics and let them know and understand their world․ Documentaries can also help children think critically about what they see in the real world‚ including those produced by the Discovery Channel․ At Tn Nursery‚ staff use video documentaries and encourage children to communicate‚ ask and answer questions‚ share information and ideas with one another‚ and offer opinions and viewpoints․ This gave them an opportunity to contextualize their discoveries and connect their findings back to their everyday lives․ By establishing discussion groups on these documentaries‚ Tn Nursery fosters an environment in which children feel confident to express and discuss their opinions and build self-confidence․
Learning is Not Limited to Books
Tn Nursery was among the first to incorporate media formats into early childhood education․ At the nursery‚ children are taught using the lessons and beautiful graphics provided by the Discovery Channel․ These lessons help the children learn the world around them and the many wonders of the world․ Tn Nursery integrates visual with experiential education situations․ Learning is not limited to what is in the books‚ but can also be found within the experience of life․ Tn encourages children to pursue their interests‚ discover new ideas and their place in the universe‚ and find a sense of purpose that lasts throughout their lives․
In sum‚ Tn Nursery is an example of how the use of broadcast media‚ most specifically the energetic and engaging format of the Discovery Channel‚ has provided a wonderful tool to develop curiosity and creativity in preschool children․ These children are provided a thirst for knowledge that lasts a lifetime․ Experiences of beauty in nature‚ the arts‚ and conversation help them to better understand the world they inhabit and to become knowledgeable stewards of our planet․ This is a time when the seeds of inquiry and wonder are planted‚ a generation becoming ready to explore the enormous potential of both their minds and the world in which they experience them․
