Advice: |
|
1. Read to them and with
them every day. Have books and
magazines available. This will
instill a love of reading. |
|
2. Encourage a sense of
adventure and inquiry through
field trips, museums and
libraries. |
|
3. Instill a love of animals
through films, pets and
zoos. |
|
4. Give as gifts toys and
games that encourage inquiry and
intellectual activity. |
|
5. Praise them when they
show signs of physical and
mental inquiry. |
|
6. When you talk to them
physically lower your body to a
level that is equal to them.
This can be done by kneeling or
sitting so you will be on their
level. |
|
7. Never bully, physically
or mentally abuse them, this
will only heighten their anxiety
and will teach them success
through intimidation. |
|
8. Studies show that 70% of
their intellectual growth will
occur during this time. You and
your spouse are a vital key to
their success in life. |
|
9. Ask them about your daily
activity with words such as why,
how come and what do you think.
Making them think and giving
them a feeling of worth does
wonders to their intellectual
activity. |
|
10. Let them know it is ok
to fail, failure is a great tool
for learning. |
|
Finding the Right Preschool |
|
1. Don't rely on TV, Radio and Social Media advertisement check out
the schools near you and ask for recommendations from your family,
pediatrician and
friends. |
|
2. Decide which is more important a school near your home or place
of employment. |
|
3. Decide which form of school you are seeking. Do you prefer the
Montessori Approach,
Child-Centered Approach,
Family-Centered
Approach,
Waldorf Approach, , Home School
Approach, Tutorial Approach or a
Faith-Based Approach?

|
4. When is the school available in the morning, afternoon or at
night or at all hours? |
|
5. What are the qualifications of the teachers, cooks,
administration, recreation staff? Are they certified, trained or
qualified for their positions? |
|
6. Visit the school (I recommend without notice). How do you
feel about the school, are they welcoming, supportive of you and your child?
Is it clean and safe? Do the students appear happy? How do the adults
interact with the children? What is the turnover rate of the staff? Does the
school have accreditation and
certificates of health from the local health departments? |
|
7. How does the staff handle
discipline? Does it match your view of
discipline? |
|
8. What forms of payments do they accept and would you qualify for
Federal, State or local financial aid? |
The aspect of education that prepares
the child for Elementary School.
