5 tips to help parents pick the best preschool
This article describes the important factors that parents should take into consideration when looking for a preschool for their child. The five factors that the article lists of most importance are:
1. ABC's, 123's - early years are the time to start
2. Play time every day (imaginative, physical)
3. Children should have choice of some activities
4. Teachers interact positively with children
5. Alignment with your home values
I agree with what has been listed in this article and their importance to Early Child Development in preschool children. In preschool, it is important for children to learn their ABC's. Once children learn letters, they then progress into phonemic awareness and phonics skills which set the foundation for reading. Learning 123's set the foundation for number recognition and math. Imaginative and physical play helps children to develop social skills, logico-mathematical skills, cognitive skills, and life skills. When children have choices, they learn by doing things of interests to them. Learning is fun and more meaningful to the child. Young children always need teachers that are going to interact with them positively. Small children are very sensitive to stimuli and can be damaged by negative attention from the teacher. If the same values are taught daily at home and preschool, they are more likely to be followed by the child.
