Liberty Education's International Preschool Curriculum is now available to schools and day care institutions in Cambodia.  

The International Preschool Curriculum is modern and uncomplicated, developed and tested over a period of six years, and provides four (4) levels of textbooks that will give structure and international learning objectives as preparation for success in primary school and beyond.

What is language acquisition? Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words and sentences to communicate.

Can an infant be bilingual? It is entirely possible to teach an infant two or even three languages, and four is not unheard of. Cambodian’s speak Khmer, which is not an international language, thus Khumers need to think like the Swiss or Belgians, small country but outside contact is absolutely necessary for certain classes of society.

Assessment is a hot topic in education! What is the purpose of assessment in early childhood? Assessment has three purposes:

Kindergarten children enter school at many different learning levels. Kindergarten teachers are responsible for recognizing each child’s past experiences, maturational level, and developmental route. As previously stated, the first purpose of assessment is to adapt the curriculum and activities based on each child’s developmental level. For example, a kindergarten classroom is divided into three groups: above grade level, on grade level, and below grade level. During guided reading each group is assigned a different book based on each group’s developmental level.

Why build a classroom community…

Children in Cambodia want to feel loved, just like all children. Although, parents in Cambodia often work long hours to provide for their families, therefore finding the time to give their children undivided attention becomes difficult. Cambodian children might often act-out because their needs are not being met at home, of course like all children they crave attention. Building a classroom community not only increases learning but also improves behavior. Children who feel part of a classroom community are more likely to learn in school and less likely to interfere with the progress of others.

Cambodia has experienced decades of conflict. Surprisingly, children commit many crimes, mostly because older children force younger children to steal. Believe it or not, if a child is caught committing a crime such as stealing, they are charged as an adult. I know it seems shocking, but it doesn’t matter how young a child might be, but they will be immediately detained and separated from their family. This is a serious problem in Cambodia.
