INTRO OF HOW WE IMPLEMENT PBL in our curriculum
Both research and developments in education have recently led to instructional innovations designed to make the classroom into a learning environment, which is more responsive to the varying learning needs and interests of individual children. For example, there is increasing curriculum integration: continuity between the children's learning in the different subjects. There is more opportunity to relate home and school learning. There is concern for memorable learning as well as memorized learning. Children are expected to work cooperatively on complex and open-ended tasks as well as follow instructions in step-by-step learning. The project approach provides a way to introduce a wide range of learning opportunities into the classroom.

Project work in the early childhood curriculum provides children with contexts for applying the skills they learn in the more formal parts of the curriculum, and for group cooperation. It also supports children's natural impulse to investigate things around them. Projects are especially valuable for young children because it is during the first years that their intellects are rapidly developing and significant long-term results can be achieved. Research has shown that being able to have an impact on their own work has many advantages during later years. It is consistently observed that children who have attended preschools where activities are child rather than teacher-directed, are more successful in every area, and especially in basic reading, language and math skills.
