Project-Based Learning for Preschool and Kindergarten: Examples and Guidelines

Project-Based Learning (PBL) treats children as young researchers exploring real-world problems. Through simple projects, they learn to observe, collaborate, and experiment.

PBL starts from children’s curiosity about their surroundings. For instance, a “School Garden Project” allows them to plant vegetables, care for them daily, and observe growth over time.

Such activities not only build scientific understanding but also develop social responsibility, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Teachers act as guides who help children formulate questions, find resources, and reflect on what they’ve learned, rather than simply providing answers.

By engaging in PBL, children gain authentic, meaningful, and joyful learning experiences that connect classroom concepts with real-life situations.
