Chooosing a Pre-School
Deciding on a preschool that is a good fit for your child and family can be exciting as well as overwhelming, especially when considering higher education. But very few parents realise that your child’s preschool will have more of an effect on their growth and is far more crucial than their later years in school. The preschool years are the building blocks in a child’s life and the most important years for their development. While learning is a continuous process throughout our adult life, it is never at the volume and rate that children learn in the first six years of their life.
When choosing a preschool for your child, you can consider things like:
Hygiene
We are all too well aware of the importance of sanitation and hygiene for the well-being of our kids. When we send our children to a preschool, we expect the place to be clean and well-sanitised because children that age may not know how to take care of these things on their own. We want to ensure that regular sanitisation, deep cleaning, fumigation and all the health guidelines are met with perfection.
Curriculum
The curriculum should be appropriate for your child's age and ability level. Simply put, all we want is what’s best for our children. While we want them to have plenty of fun and enjoy playing at pre-school, we want them to learn and grow at every step.
The curriculum is the core of the preschool's educational program. It defines the goals, the content, and the methods of teaching and learning. You may want to choose a preschool that has a child-centered curriculum that caters to the needs, interests, and abilities of your child. You may also want to look for a curriculum that covers the domains of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and creative skills, and that prepares your child for the next level of schooling.
Teacher qualifications
At the pre-school, teachers are going to be the closest influence on children. It is important that the teachers are friendly, can make the children feel comfortable, understand their behaviours and emotions, and are trained well to take on any challenge while the kid is in school. After all, as a parent, it takes a great amount of trust to send your kid away to school for the very first time, and it is comforting to know that at Intellitots, they are in good hands.
Communication
Ask about the methods the school uses to communicate with parents, such as a mobile app for sharing updates.
Class size
The class size should be small enough for your child to get individual attention, but large enough for them to interact with their peers.
Location
Consider the location of the preschool, especially if you work and want to avoid adding stress to your schedule.
Preschool readiness
Consider whether your child is ready for preschool. What's right for one child might not be right for another.
Infrastructure
The preschool should have a safe infrastructure and ample play area. Also, it is most important to us that the school’s infrastructure is designed in a child-friendly and child-safe way.
These are the golden years, indeed! All play, even while learning. We would want our child to go to a pre-school that has a wonderful play area. Many big cities don’t have enough space to build playgrounds, but when it comes to our kid’s pre-schools, this is a no-compromise factor!
