Children are born curious - they need to be in order to learn by listening and watching the adults in their life. Children learn by experience until they go to school. Beginning in preschool and becoming more rigid as they age, the school environment focuses on acquiring specific knowledge in a standardised way. Chika Inoue is a Senior Lecturer at Aichi Shukutoku University, Faculty of Human Services Major of Child Care and Education, and is working alongside research collaborators to bring together ECEC practitioners, children and parents in order to understand how everyone can be involved in creating a more informal learning environment.
