What dose holistic development mean?

Hi,

Hope the following helps

Holistic Play
Pre-school play should focuses on six key principles:
• The holistic approach to development and learning
• integrative learning
• children as active learners
• adults as interested supporters in learning
• interactive learning, and
• play as a medium for learning.
Practitioners need to look at the 6 learning areas set out by A.C.C.A.C’s desirable outcomes: Language, literacy and Communication, Mathematical, Creative, Personal & Social, Physical, and Knowledge & Understanding of the World. Practitioners need to look at the learning areas as a whole as they are all interlinked, it would be impossible to look at these outcomes individually.

Holistic.. looks at the child as a whole not just parts of the child's development..
