Pre-School Checklist

   
   To choose the right preschool for your child can be overwhelming for any parent.

A preschool is your child's first exposure to the outside World and parents need to know what to look for in a preschool. A preschool not only educates the child , laying the foundation for future academic development but also creates a nurturing environment that teaches young children soft skills and assists in the all round development of your little one. 

What are the basic criterion you should look at while choosing a school for your young child.

What Is The Qualification & Experience Level Of The Teacher ?

Teachers are the first adults outside of family who will be responsible for the child. Well trained and experienced teachers balance teaching with nurturing. Teachers trained who work with small children are also able to communicate better with her brood, sometimes in a more efficient manner than the parents as well.

The Director Of The School :

The Director is in charge of running the school, setting up the curriculum, hiring the teachers and managing the operations. She might not be present in your child’s day-to-day schooling, but you might want to understand the director’s philosophy, discipline, teaching values and her vision for the school.

The Infrastructure & Hygiene Of The School :

Preschools should be designed keeping children in mind, providing a safe & hygienic environment and a colorful ambiance to stimulate the growth and development.

Safety

Unfortunately we live in troubled times and it is important to understand the school's approach to your child's physical and emotional safety in the hours that they are in the school.

What Is The Strength Of The Classroom ?

One has to look at the total number of children in the class as well as the teacher to student ratio. A smaller class strength is essential to preschool to ensure that they have access to all study material and are also able to easily transit from the home environment to the school environment. Teachers will also have ample time to work with every child individually, ensure a focused teaching approach and help bring out their skills & talents.

Is There An Arts Focus To Encourage Creative Expression?

Studies have proven that artistic expression dramatically increases the early brain development and improves the overall academic performance. Children joyfully respond to music, dance and art which are essential learning tools, to bring out the artist in every child.

Curriculum Of The School :

Children should have access to various activities throughout the day. Physical activity is critical for the development of a child's gross motor skills and also promotes health and well-being. The School must provide ample time for playing, working with materials, outdoor and extra curricular activities to develop your little ones as fine leaders of tomorrow.
