CHILDREN MUST LEARN ABOUT ARMENIAN CULTURE FROM KINDERGARTEN

“Knowledge on culture must be cultivated in children starting from kindergarten,” director of N4 kindergarten of Vanadzor and professors of Vanadzor State Pedagogical University, Jenia Paturyan, told Panorama.am. In her words, the kindergartens have special curriculum requiring that children get acquainted with the monuments of the Armenian culture, different people of art, and all these, within the framework of the abilities.

Four year old children in the kindergarten are assigned to paint and prepare their houses from different materials. Five years old are requested to picture their kindergarten and six years old are asked to create pictures of their town. “The children are most attentive on talks about art and they do their assignments with great delight. As they start, so they will continue. Everything starts from the kindergarten although most teachers would not agree with this statement,” Paturyan said.
