A Preschool education is an incredibly important part of children’ s lives, as it is the first basic educational experience that they will have, and the first truly social setting and experience that they will have as well. Children are very susceptible to learning in their first few years of life, so it is so important that they have the most enjoyable experience that they can in this regards. So, finding the best preschool for your child is imperative.

Children between the ages of three and five are ready to learn. Curiosity is high in this age group and pre-schools meet the needs of the child. If the child’s inner curiosity is not met with activities and answers, it could possibly diminish his or her future academic performance.

Children in this age group have a wide range of interests. If these interests are discovered and encouraged at a young age, it will lay the groundwork for a love of learning. For instance, a child who has a love for scribbling and is encouraged will generally learn to write earlier than other children.

Children who are enrolled in pre-school learn the importance of character through the praise and encouragement they receive through displaying hard work and responsibility. This leads to positive self worth, as well as fostering good study skills, in a child.

It is vital to prepare your toddler for the transition to preschool. You should start preparing 3 months in advance. This is a big step for your child and you want it to be a positive experience. Parents who have to leave their children in a preschool center are always tortured by the dilemma of whether they chose the right one or not for their little ones. But in most cases it is really just guilt over leaving the child. If you did your homework, spoke to friends or neighbors that may have had children attend the school with positive results, then don’t worry. Remember, the children need this preschool education experience, it is a necessary stage of development.

Is it a good thing to have a child begin school early? Or do you think it’s better the child waits for the starting age to begin school?

If you are suggesting enrolling a child in a pre-school program:

If the child has relatively little time with friends his/her own age, or if he/she is rather shy, mixing with a group of children in a pre-school environment really helps develop confidence and interaction skills, as well as prepare the child for a school environment and routines, which makes the first day at ‘real’ school so much easier for everyone! If the school is in the same area as the pre-school program, it’s a great way for the children to make friendships that continue into school.

From a more literacy/numeracy/curriculum viewpoint, some pre-school programs will offer children the opportunity to experience and possibly pick up the basics such as writing their own name, saying the alphabet and counting to ten or twenty. These are things that a child could also learn at home.

If, on the other hand, you’re suggesting that a child starts at regular school at the same time as children who are of the starting age, the child may not be at a disadvantage as far as the curriculum goes, but if the gap between the ages is too different the early starter may find themselves left behind as far as emotional, interpersonal and physical development goes.

…hope that helps!

My son is ready for pre-school. There is an Early Intervention program in my town. They welcome both kids with developmental delays and those without. Those without serve as role models for the delayed kids. I think this would be a great way to teach my son to accept differences, and hopefully get a great early education for less $. My main concern is that my child, in turn, might NOT develop as well because of the other kids. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks.
Important detail: While he has not been labeled "gifted", the Pediatrician has said his cognitive development is advanced for his age.

I would say go for it. I think that there is more positives then there are negatives. You listed the positives of him learning acceptances and it being cheaper.

The only negatives he may find the class not challenging enough. I wouldn’t even say that for sure though. if the preschool is welcoming all kids they will be adapted to all kids of all development stages. Even if the class is some what repetitive have to keep it in perspective, it is preschool if he hears the ABC’s one to many times and they don’t go over the color red enough, I am sure he will figure it out by grade one!!!

Preschool is more about ‘growing up’ the social skills and learning to interact with other kids, parents and teachers. It gets them in t the routine of school and being starting to be away from Mom (that is for both you!). The education part of preschool is really not preschools primary goal.

Good Luck!

Education is the cornerstone of success and it begins in early childhood with the first portal of learning – The Pre-School. If statistics are any index, then ninety percent of the human brain is developed by the age of three years and near complete development has occurred by the age of five years – which makes preschool the most impressionable of all the learning institutes that the growing child would attend in the years to come!

Learning is best when teachers and parents work together, so help the teacher understand your child by sharing the concerns, insights and information about your child. Regular communication can bridge the gap between preschool and home. Keep the teacher informed regarding any changes in the circumstances at home such as moving to a new house, birth of a sibling, death, hospitalization, or divorce.

Before sending the child to the preschool, find out what all child needs to take in the bag in terms of drinks, food and other personal items. Label child’s clothing and equipment with their name to help prevent the confusion and loss, as it can be upsetting for the child. Be prepared for the accidents, and pack a set of labeled clothes so that children can feel comfortable in their own clothes.

Don’t refer to the process as “hard”. If children worry, as many inevitably will, that they’ll never learn to read, you can respond with a comment like one of these:

• It may seem hard right now, but you are still little.
• I’m sure you’ll be a wonderful reader some day.
• When you go to school you’ll have teachers whose job it is to teach you how to read.
• As you get older it will get easier and easier.
• Enjoying books is an important part of learning to read, and you really love your books!

Many parents struggle with the issue whether to send their child to the private or public elementary school. If you have a good public preschool in your area, get your child enrolled in that otherwise consider the private school.

Once you are sure about the safety and quality of the preschool, give your child enough time to get adjusted to the place, people and program. The child may initially resist due to hesitance or separation anxiety, but he or she will gradually settle down in the new routine.

Preschool Starting Tips

There is high demand for good schools, and preschools with good reputation may have long waiting list for admission. Parents must register the name of the child as soon as possible for them, and it can be as early as just after the birth. Visit various playschools so that you are aware of advantages and drawbacks of each. Before visiting, talk to your child and let him know the purpose of the visit.

The Kangaroo Kids Club (www.kkblr.com) is an exciting activity based integrated learning centre. It has been created to facilitate “action-based” knowledge in a fun-filled environment and to stimulate your child’s development in a variety of skill areas including language, physical, cognitive and social / emotional skills.
