Child development, both mentally and physically, is a very crucial part of human life. This is the stage where the weakness and strengths of a person are realized. This essay is about observation profiles of twenty preschoolers. I observed the children as they engaged in different activities in a preschool room. The observation included their interests, abilities, skills and some specific needs that they lacked. The preschoolers were between the ages of two and three years.

Program Ideas:There are various program ideas that will enhance the toddlers’ growth. Outdoor science exploration and games is a great way to break the class monotony and open up the child’s mind (De Chantal & Markovits, 2017). A child’s concentration is very fragile, and the moment you overwork them in the same place for a long time, their minds will stop incorporating any new stuff. The sticky shapes game is one activity that will enhance the learning of shapes without getting bored. Alphabet books and alphabet activities is a nice way of teaching the kids about alphabets without sounding strange to the young minds. Musical activities will also help in enhancing the child’s development. Apart from entertainment, you will be able to realize talents at an early stage. Toddlers love those little creatures, and a lesson about insects will be beneficial to them; it can be accompanied by using songs and games.
