Since 2008, during frequent business trips to such business hubs as San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the founders of Putnu d\u0101rzs have noticed that many of their clients and colleagues choose Reggio Emilia Approaches at schools for their children. The answer to the question \u2018Why the Reggio Emilia Approach?\u2019 was that this approach provides children with a wide range of skills from an early age, teaches them to cooperate and work in a team, use their creative potential, develop soft skills, be empathetic to others and not be afraid to be different. These are the principles that motivated the founders of Putnu d\u0101rzs to open the first Reggio Emilia preschool in Latvia for the children of their employees and other parents who are interested in or passionate about this <a href=\"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/par-mums\/\">approach<\/a> to teaching and its <a href=\"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/#principi\">principles<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\n\n\r\n       <div id=\"2\" class=\"question-container\">\r\n                <h4>How many children are there in Putnu d\u0101rzs?<\/h4>                <button onclick=\"openQuestionFull(2)\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/wp-content\/themes\/pandago-child-2\/assets\/img\/arrow red.png\" alt=\"arrow\"><\/button>\r\n                <p>Putnu d\u0101rzs is a small preschool with no more than 55 children exploring the world at a time.

Developed by <em>Oxford University Press<\/em>, <em>Numicon<\/em> aims to make abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and accessible, fostering a deeper understanding and love for mathematics from an early age.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAt the core of <em>Numicon<\/em> are a series of colorful plastic shapes, each representing different numbers. These shapes can be fitted together in various ways, allowing children to visually and physically explore mathematical relationships and concepts such as counting, addition, subtraction, and even early multiplication and division. The tactile nature of <em>Numicon<\/em> helps children develop their number sense and improves their ability to visualize and manipulate numbers.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<em>Numicon<\/em> is particularly effective because it engages multiple senses and learning styles. By combining visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities, <em>Numicon<\/em> caters to diverse learners, making it an inclusive educational tool. This multisensory approach not only enhances engagement but also aids in the retention and understanding of mathematical concepts.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOne of the key strengths of <em>Numicon<\/em> is its structured yet flexible framework. Teachers can integrate <em>Numicon<\/em> into their existing curricula, using it to complement and reinforce their lessons. It provides clear progression paths, ensuring that as children advance, they build on a solid foundation of mathematical understanding.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn addition to classroom use, <em>Numicon<\/em> has proven beneficial for children with special educational needs. Its clear, visual, and tactile approach can make mathematics more accessible and less intimidating for these students, helping to bridge learning gaps and build confidence.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nOverall, <em>Numicon<\/em> is more than just a teaching tool; it&#8217;s a comprehensive program that transforms the way mathematics is taught and learned, making it a valuable asset in early childhood education. By fostering a positive and interactive learning environment, <em>Numicon<\/em> helps children develop essential mathematical skills that will serve them throughout their academic and everyday lives.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-126","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1009,"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/126\/revisions\/1009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/putnudarzs.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
