Abstract

The Early Childhood Education area and school in general should be the platform for the acquisition of knowledge by all children. Education is needed in which active experiences dominate, ensuring a better moral and intellectual education that leads to the desire to continuously acquire knowledge based on their interests in order to be able to cope with the demands of life on a personal and professional level. This paper attempts to show that a holistic approach to the Arts based on the modern pedagogical practices of Differentiated Teaching and the experiential and child-centered project method can be a main instrument for a pluralistic education space that responds to the wide range of diversity of children. The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to explore through a literature review the general characteristics of Differentiated Instruction and the Project Method, as well as what the role of the Early Childhood Educator should be. The following is a pedagogical activity that was carried out with children aged 3 to 4 years old in a preschool education center.
