Is your child ready for preschool?
A smooth and successful preschool experience is the goal of teacher and parent alike. Preschool focuses on preparing children for formal education, and students attending need to have basic skills mastered. Unlike the more relaxed daycare atmosphere, preschool provides structured learning with activities and a curriculum to prepare your child for school. Is your child ready for preschool, not a day care, environment? Are they ready for an academic program with routine and transitions? Can they adapt to a schedule? As you look forward to this exciting step in your child’s life, please give consideration to the following:
