In preschool, young children learn how to properly sit, listen, and learn while in a social group of their peers. This skill is central to the development of self-regulation processes in the child and also critical for the child's future academic career.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Bethann Phillips!
Is your child ready to begin kindergarten and excel in school? It takes much more than cognitive ability to do well in school. Kids must understand the role of teachers and assistants and be able to get along with other students. Preschool is a way for children to get that knowledge.
If you can t work out your child's separation anxiety before admitting them to preschool, don't worry about it too much. Many children leave Mom or Dad for the first time to go to preschool, and they do just fine!
The counting, sorting and board games in preschool may seem like nothing more than a fun diversion. However, child experts say these activities help kids to understand numbers and sequence critical basic skills for math.
Preschool offers a more stable environment for your child than many child care centers. Child care offered by individuals may be forced to shut down when the proprietor is ill. That isn't an issue with a preschool class, which may include several teachers and a teacher's aide.
Wondering if your child is ready to start preschool? A good thing to watch for is his or her willingness to be away from parents for periods of time. Enrolling your child in preschool before this is the case might cause a lot of anxiety and problems.
Happy Birthday to Mrs. Kelly Kornegay!
Happy Birthday Mrs Rebecca Jones!
Your child will never be able to learn and master new concepts as quickly as they can during their early years. If you want to make the most of your child s formative years, we can help.
Has your child spent time without you? If your child hasn't had many opportunities to be away from you, you may want to schedule some before admitting them into preschool. A weekend with Grandma, for instance, could be a good stepping stone.
How long will my child see the benefits from a quality preschool education? There is some disagreement among researchers; however, a 2010 review of 123 previous studies found that positive impacts lasted generally through elementary school.
Preschool isn't just great for kids and parents, but for the economy as well. According to James J. Heckman of the University of Chicago, money spent on education before the age of five yields the highest return on investment compared to school and post-school training.
Is your child used to keeping a regular schedule? Preschool involves a predictable routine; typically circle time, play time, snack, playground, and then lunch. There is a good reason for this. Children tend to feel more comfortable and in control when the same things happen at the same time each day.
Just a reminder that KinderSchool is closed tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day.
Does your local library have a story time session? Consider taking your child to a story time before admitting them to preschool. Doing something like this or signing them up for a class such as baby gym, can help them get prepared for preschool.
Did you know that part of the curriculum in preschool focuses on the continuing physical development of young students? Areas that are focused on here include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, body awareness, personal care, and healthy behaviors.
Happy Birthday Miss Katelyn Leger!
Being a parent of a young child can sometimes be isolating. When you enroll your child in a preschool program, he or she will get to meet other children, but an added bonus is that you'll get to meet other parents. Many people find good friends and form a support network in this way.
Happy Birthday Ms. Theresa Theresa Hudson Land! ❤️
There are different styles of education at the preschool level- and each of them can be quite excellent. Many students feel more comfortable in one format or another, however, and different styles may reach different students more successfully.
Preparing your child for school s academic rigors is only one of the reasons that you should consider preschool. It helps them learn to socialize with others their age, and can be a good way to help them transition from home to school.
It s important to remember that all children develop at different rates. While we ve tailored our preschool programs to be age level appropriate, it s usually possible to increase or decrease the pace based on the children s individual needs.
Young children learn important skills through play, games and creative activities including music, art, dance, and storytelling. For example, building blocks can teach problem-solving and counting skills. Self-esteem and good learning habits are also developed through preschool play.
