Early Childhood Development Centers: Childcare Facility Provision for WU Staff and Students  

The education program at both centers is grounded in the HighScope Preschool Curriculum, developed through a collaboration between Walailak University and the centers. This partnership seeks to enhance early childhood education by incorporating research, outreach efforts, and student volunteering programs. The goal is to ensure equal access to high-quality education for all enrolled children. The curriculum emphasizes active learning, encouraging children to explore, ask questions, and engage in hands-on activities. It focuses on key developmental areas such as language, literacy, social skills, and cognitive growth through a well-structured daily routine. At Wat Khok Lek Early Childhood Development Center, teachers employ intentional teaching methods to guide children’s learning, while allowing them the freedom to make choices and follow their interests. This approach fosters independent thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, preparing young learners for future educational success.
