Dunwoody Academy

5.0

By Sanjay & Gayathri V at Customer Lob

My husband and I took our daughter to Infants of Dunwoody for 2 years. She was 5 months old when she first started going there. We were immediately very impressed with everything they had to offer. It is not just day care. They give a lot of attention and one on one time to your child. Different lesson plans are implemented on a monthly basis. Our daughter really grew and developed a lot during her time there. It was great to see her learn new skills and reach new milestones. I recommend Infants of Dunwoody because they are exceptional. ...read more

Children's Books and Music Help Build Self-Esteem

Children's bookshelp young people understand the world around them and how they fit into that world. Children's fiction gives children the chance to explore the world from different perspectives, broadening their sense of what it means to be a human being. Books for children, including audio books, help children develop self-esteem and empathy for other people and other forms of life. Even for very young children, hearing stories and looking at colors and faces in board books has meaning.The Early BooksFor young children the experience of books, starting with picture books, is enhanced by the relationship with the reader. Reading to children (which may mean looking at pictures together) not only has a powerful effect on the children's future ability to learn, it also associates the pleasure of books with the comfort of the reader's attention. Research shows that reading to children brings many benefits. Taking children to a library exposes them to the world of books and gives them the chance to choose books. An enjoyable experience in a library, even for pre-readers, helps establish a love of and comfort with books.Books for Young ReadersOnce young people learn to read themselves they have many exciting and enjoyable experiences awaiting them. They can lose themselves in the adventures of other young people. They can explore subjects that interest them. They can relax with a book, needed break from a high-paced and stressful world. Reading brings with it a sense of accomplishment and independence. As a kindergartner is on the cusp of learning to read, he or she often experiences a powerful frustration and desire.Coloring books and activity books give kids the opportunity to interact with books. Children's cookbooks teach young people the satisfaction of creating something valuable by following directions. Well into adulthood many people remember the pictures they colored, the food they made, and the dots they connected through interactive books. Such activity-based books are ideal homeschool books.Children's MusicLike books, music has a profound effect on children. Kids respond not only to children's music, but also to classical and contemporary music. Music has the ability to calm, excite, and bring great pleasure. Moving to music in a type of primitive dance is one of a child's earliest experiences of relating to the outside world.Poetry for ChildrenIn a certain sense, poetry combines music and literature. Starting with nursery rhymes, moving to folk songs, and continuing through understanding of the power of poetic language, poetry expresses what prose misses. Too often, however, parents steer their children away from poetry, perhaps because of their own discomfort or misunderstanding of the medium.Books and Electronic MediaMany different forms of electronic media now compete with children's books for the attention of young people. The complete array of available media enhances learning opportunities as long as a balance is maintained. Just as television did not replace radio a generation ago, electronic media will not replace books. Each place a different role in preparing young people for the full experience of the worlds they inhabit.

Teachers Enrich Learning through Kids' Books

Educators at all levels - from elementary school to middle school to high school - are increasingly frustrated about traditional approaches to reading. Although they're under enormous pressure to "teach to the test," and achieve the benchmarks mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act, teachers understand that children have a multitude of learning styles. Not every child responds to the same teaching approach or to the same materials. That's why teachers are turning to children's books, children's music, and Kids DVDS  that are designed to engage children who are read/write learners, who are auditory learners, and who are kinesthetic learners. Why are these books and ancillary materials successful? Because they build upon and complement one another, resulting in increased learning and higher test scores. For example, the books are written to expand vocabulary, but at the same time are designed to engage kids' creativity with role-playing activities. Similarly, audio books for children use the read-aloud model to instill critical listening skills. The best educational children's book systems also offer posters that depict characters in the books, and enable children to express their creativity through coloring.To teachers, one of the best attributes of these educational series is that the kids' books are aligned with standardized curricula and thus meet local and state requirements. Moreover, some systems provide a step-by-step program that teaches writing skills (a subject sorely lacking in many schools), and that integrates the program into a school success plan that transforms all students into achievers.For educators, one of the bonuses of adopting these kinds of children's books into the classroom is that the books, children's music, and kids' DVDs do more than teach academic skills. Indeed, they also teach life skills, such as conflict resolution and self-control. Typically, these materials are also infused with character building lessons. For example, safety might be addressed in one song, while friendship might be covered in another.Upon reflection, it makes sense that these kinds of multidisciplinary materials are making inroads into schools. Not only do they engage children with many different learning styles, but they enable children's natural talents to be recognized and nurtured. Whether a child is a budding artist, actor, or writer, these materials enable him or her to shine. And, there's little doubt that kids achieve more and develop a greater love for learning when they succeed.At a time when teachers around the country are faced with increasingly scarce resources, they are recognizing the value in adopting children's books, children's music, and kids' DVDs that are multidisciplinary and can do double- or triple-duty in the classroom. Children are engaged, test scores rise, and kids are excited about learning. There's not a better combination of attributes.
