Finding the right preschool for your child is critical because it affects the quality and intensity of their education. If you choose to enroll your kid(s) in a preschool, it’s also wise to look into the curriculum details. Here’s what makes a good curriculum:
Suitability for a Child
Across different levels of education, teachers and researchers take different approaches to help you understand information. Your child learns best through playing, singing, walking, storytelling, and taking rest in between due to short attention spans.
As a parent or caregiver, it’s crucial to look for the inclusion of play and imagination into a child’s curriculum. Y preschool took each of these development factors into account when selecting a suitable preschool curriculum for young children. This ensures that your child grasps information and catches up with classmates.
A Hands-on Experience
Part of learning includes taking in information and putting it into practice. Active learning at the Y preschool encourages your child to practice their skills and build them gradually, with the support of teachers and parents. The HighScope curriculum is excellent for Y preschool because it encourages children to plan their activities, create the product and then go through a review once done. During the learning process at the Y preschool, your child learns how to develop ideas and take ownership of their thoughts, build on the thoughts through practice and review the process once done. These skills can help them plan future activities and learn from their decisions.
Research-based Preschool Curriculum
The HighScope curriculum is a research-based curriculum that takes into account key factors that affect the learning and development of children. Besides looking into the biological and mental development in children, the HighScope curriculum developers also focus on family, policy and community and the role they play in early childhood education. As such, the curriculum aligns with the Y’s goal to provide quality preschool education. At the Y preschool, your child goes through a curriculum that factors in their needs, development and how the influence of teachers and family affects the learning process.
The Development Team Behind the Curriculum
As a consumer, you may often find yourself choosing products based on the qualification and brand behind the product. When it comes to education for your child, the same approach is crucial. Who developed the preschool curriculum your kid uses at school or home? At the Y preschool, we advocate for the HighScope curriculum because its team of developers has experience and in-depth knowledge of early childhood education.
Developing Daily Routines
A daily routine helps your child create habits and engrave specific lessons in their mind. Every day, your child plays with other kids, talks to adults within the classroom setting, helps with clean-up activities, practices self-care skills, and exercises their brain and physical muscles. When these activities are repeated daily, they help your child improve executive skills and become an independent student.
