Abstract:
This article explores the concept of experiential learning defined here as a process of human cognition. It is briefly described, presenting the vision of knowledge. The holistic development of the child is promoted in the Curriculum for Early Childhood Education and emphasizes the important areas of development: cognitive development, physical development, socio-human development. The experiences are described indicating the effect on the development of the preschool child. These models can be used by teachers in teaching through experiential learning. Experiential learning methodology presents an innovative approach to learning and includes a flexible structure of learning activities through observation and interaction with the environment. This experiential approach to learning allows participants to lead and take responsibility for their own learning through direct discovery and experiences. Through the proposed activities, preschool children have the opportunity to experience and explore their environment to enable them to cope with stimuli that have the function of helping to transform the experience itself into a source of learning and preparation to cope with life and the world around them.
