As a parent today, it’s easy to get caught up in debates over Montessori versus traditional kindergartens, international versus national schools, and British versus American, Australian, and so on. But what if we put all the labels aside, and focused on the fundamentals of how children learn best: through playing outdoors, getting dirty, and exploring with all their faculties and senses. We dig into non-traditional learning, with Dr Rajini Sarvananthan, Consultant Developmental Paediatrician, as well as Johleen Koh and Nor Shidawati Abd Rasid, Co-Founders of KNOTS (Knowledge New Old Twists). Find out about KNOTs’ activities on Facebook and LinkedIn.
