We all know that the transition to preschool is going to be a tough one for both involved parties and choosing one can prove to be a little bit difficult. Factors such as selecting a program which matches your child’s needs, as well as whether they have a developmental approach to learning that incorporates a regular preschool assessment to check your child’s progress, in addition to having received good credentials from previous parents should all be taken into consideration.
A preschool program should be able to aid the child in developing his soul, body and spirit as well as help him nurture some interests. Creative teaching and learning should be placed up high in the priority list. A group approach should be taken into consideration as it will surely boost his communication skills as well as social interaction ones thus developing his innate talents and set of skills.
Whether or not the child is undergoing a rhythmic learning procedure, this also should be interweaved with participatory learning as well as encourage his self-expression in order to make sure that he is developing a strong character and will be aware of his qualities and importance in a group of individuals.
These specific sets of skills can be taught by following a strict but comprehensive and easy to understand curriculum through means of art, music, projects as they are the main activities which put the child’s ideas and points of view in the spotlight.
Parents are also advised to enroll their children into preschools that teach basic concepts of math, reading and science through various activities. Development research has shown that having access to sciences from an early age is fundamental as it gives the child some notions to start with which will be further built upon later in his life.
Not only are these subjects need to be taught with interactive and at the same time fun methods such as play-based learning with building blocks, clay, dramatic play and puzzles but also teachers have to make sure they have the children’s full-fledged attention in the process.
Finding a good preschool program is crucial for the development of a child and it is mandatory to invest a lot of effort in choosing the best one. Bear in mind your child’s needs as well as his personality. Go for the one who adopts a pattern of learning through discovery and interaction.
Great teachers and curriculum should be also taken into account as they are the ones who spend most of the time with your child. Consider the ability of your child to adapt to various people as everyone has different individual needs, energy levels and degree of maturity.
Thank you for your article! I completely agree with you, I am currently looking for preschools that teach basic concepts of math, reading and science for my little one.
Thank you!
Finding a good pre-school is one of the hardest things as a parent, we went through all of them in our area and had to go out of our area driving 25 miles away to finally get a good one.
