World Knowledge Begins at an Early Age

You may have heard the term ‘world schooling’ recently. World schooling uses travel to teach children about the planet and world cultures. As the use of technology increases, the world has become more interconnected, and one country’s problems can affect our personal lives.

An early educational experience should include a global perspective. At The Goddard School, we provide children with opportunities to learn about other cultures, develop a greater understanding of new ideas and increase compassion for people who may appear very different.

You don’t have to get on a plane with your preschooler to teach her about the world. Here are some ideas to help you share the world with your little one:

• Cook some recipes from different countries each week;
• Be open to the world around you, and share it with your children;
• Learn new words from different languages as a family;
• Visit museums, go to festivals and attend embassy events;
• Follow child-friendly international news stories with your family;
• Read stories about other cultures and families;
• Listen to a variety of music from around the world, and learn foreign songs;
• Make a craft based on one from another culture.
