Will Preschool education make your child ready for school?


Some parents are concerned whether their children will be ready for school after they have attended a nursery school. So, they go through increased anxiety and are on the lookout for good pre-primary schools. Little millennium is one such school that specializes in training children, through a scientific curriculum that they practice in their school.

 The school’s early development training ensures that the child is able to read write and comprehend once it has attended their pre-school. They focus on the all round development of your child. A good pre-school should ensure that there is complete cognitive development of your child.

Through a planned and systematic curriculum the child should develop problem-solving skills. Developing a capacity for a strong knowledge basis which would ensure academic success in future is essential in a good preschool education. Education should have horizontal relevance to the child rather than vertical relevance. In other words, you should not view your child as an adult in the making but whatever it is doing now should be valued and should have relevance in the present rather than living for the future.

Besides learning to read and write children also learn social interaction in a pre-primary school. The classroom should be considered as a place where the teacher and the kids socially interact with each other and together negotiate the school curriculum.

Little children should be given a chance to learn skills which would help them, make sense of their world. Learning is most effective when it is taught by the play-way method. There should be a relationship between what is being learnt and the learning environment. Knowledge and understanding of the subject should be developed through social interactions. The final goal should be to create a learning environment in which the teachers and students have opportunities to make decisions, connect the known to the unknown, and test out new ideas by interactive methods. The role of the teacher in the learning process is to provide guided participation. The role of the children is to interact by play and informal learning new ideas and activities.
Children should be allowed to develop ideas and concepts which help them understand their world. The process of teaching is effective when children build concepts on the basis of their understanding of the world. The teachers provide situations that enhance the experiences of children which makes them reconstruct their experiences and express.

Children’s curriculum should be designed to foster factual knowledge and should build their conceptual understanding of mathematics and science. For instance children should learn representational systems in the early stages of learning literacy. Children should also develop skills which make them gather information like identifying numbers and letters and different ways to acquire information about their natural and social world.
Pre-primary education should make children learn by participating in activities that are meaningful to them. The activities they indulge in should develop knowledge, skills and ways of learning and thinking and develop a disposition of learning.

Good preschools like Little Millennium develop children’s ability through interactive systems and thus contribute towards their learning.
