Young children are individuals who are resourceful, intelligent, independent, and can do whatever it is they set their mind to. Educators and teachers are mentors or guides who facilitate a child's learning process. Children are communicators and are encouraged to use language to ask questions and discuss their observations. Play and learning are not separated.
Children's cognitive understandings are enriched and deepened when they are supported by parents, teachers, or more knowledgeable peers. Therefore, language plays an important role in social interactions, communication, and the development of a child's thinking processes.		Lev Vygotsky
