A visit to Avendale International Kindergarten was arranged for Year 1 students of Higher Diploma in Early Childhood Education on 9 April 2019.  Students could experience strong sensory stimulation environment under authentic settings.  They were keen to observe so as to understand more about applying the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale (ECERS) and the environment assessment tools to assess the quality of learning environment.  This visit helped the students to facilitate their study in discussing correlations between children social and emotional development and early childhood education settings.
