Concepts

• As preschoolers explore and examine the world around them, it's important that they can accurately comprehend basic conceptual systems such as spatial, temporal and quality.

• Introducing these important concepts through visually stimulating artwork and descriptive text helps children apply associations of location, direction, time and description to the world around them, all of which guide a more accurate comprehension of new discoveries.
