1.Learning & exploration beneath play
Play and exploration in the early childhood environment means children can choose to participate in activities with other children or adults, or sometimes alone, in activities where they learn through first-hand experience. hand through activeactivities. They require space, time and choice, and the range of activities are wide, some of which are planned and prepared by practitioners based on their observations of current interests , learning styles and developmental stages of each child.Defining a game has been considered difficult by many authors and researchers, with some claiming that it is easier to tell what a game is not than what a game is. By observing children who play, play can be assumed to be any or all of the following: social learning devices; cognitive learning devices; physical learning devices; fun and freedom; therapy; work while the adults are busy. The game is said to exist in societies worldwide and has been identified in other species, particularly in young adults.
2.A Warm and Comforting Environment
Kindergarten or preschool is often the first time a child is away from home and the loving care of their parents. It is essential that you feel that you can work side by side with the teacher and collaborate to develop your child’s social skills.
Visit the campus during school hours to see for yourself how the school operates. How do teachers interact with students? How do students interact with teachers and each other?
Are the classes fun, engaging, and safe?
The answers to these questions are particularly important at this time, as we are all (especially young children) being forced to deal with more stress and anxiety than usual.
If you are unable to visit a school due to social distancing measures, please consider registering for a virtual open house or virtual tour, which many schools and programs are now offering. While observing a classroom in person is not possible, it will still give you the opportunity to speak with one or more faculty members. This will help you better assess your options before deciding to enroll your child.
3.Finding Excellence
Kindergarten and preschool are the foundation of your child’s growth and educational journey. Use these tips to guide your research, have fun in class, and trust your instincts.
4.Child-Friendly Facilities
When choosing a kindergarten or nursery school, the campus will play a role in the school you choose. A secure and attractive installation will likely be at the top of your list for a number of reasons.
The health and safety of your child is extremely important and must be considered by your child’s school. You want to ensure that the facility is constantly being developed and updated, and that staff are well trained in security measures.
You also want to know about school resources.
Modern classrooms are filled with screens, devices and tools designed to teach children more effectively, but be sure to use them wisely. Also, if you are interested in outdoor education, look for gardens, animals, and opportunities for your child to explore the natural world. Science tells us that getting your hands dirty in an outdoor play space can improve brain health and function.
At the same time, it is important to examine these facilities from a health and hygiene point of view. How are the seats allocated in the classroom?
Is there enough space between the students? How often are classrooms and all their belongings (toys, desks, tables, books, etc.) sanitized? Is the room well ventilated? These questions can all help you understand if the school values student well-being as much as you do.
5.Passionate Teachers
Enthusiastic, caring and skilled faculty and staff should be a priority. As great as the campus is, it’s the faculty and the administration that come up with the plan.
While it’s obvious that you should only work with schools that employ qualified and well-trained teachers, passion can be harder to identify. But it’s one of the biggest differentiators between a cute preschool and a great one.
When visiting preschools and kindergartens on your shortlist, look for educators who speak kindly and respectfully to children.
They are flexible teachers who want your child to succeed, who are aware of shorter attention spans and will adapt their teaching to keep them happy and healthy in the process.
