How to choose the right Kindergarten for your child?


 

The good of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn. (Maria Montessori)

Choosing the best Kindergarten for your toddler is a really daunting task for every parent, where the competition is already at its peak and every school offers the best of everything, finding the right Kindergarten may take some time. Here are a few things, you should consider when making the choice.

Ø Search local schools online- Most schools have websites which provide informations about their service operations, curriculum, policies and procedures, contact details, location etc.

Ø Speak with parents in your neighbourhood – Other parents will be able to give you information that is not online. You can also look on social media for reviews and ratings.

Ø Compare locations and travel time to your home- Remember that you may have to provide transportation or have your child ride a bus to the school every day. The school should be located near to your home. Make sure the school you choose does not leave the child tired and drained due to the distance. So, opt for a school that does not take much time to commute.

Ø Focus on the student teacher ratio- Always prefer school that offer small class sizes. This also helps in keeping children more engaged academically and socially.

Ø Check the timings- The school timing should suit you and your kid. The school should not start too early nor too late.

Ø Check out the teachers – The biggest influences on your child are the teachers they interact with, so observe them in action. A school with experienced and qualified teachers certainly score good.  

Ø Look for the Curriculum-Does the school directly jump to teaching or do they start talking and make the children comfortable. Does the school have enough activity oriented curriculum. A participation based teaching should always be preferred.

Ø Safety - Make sure the environment of the school is good and the management emphasizes on safety and security of the child.

 

Conclusion:   

Parents should choose the Kindergarten based on their parental goals and child’s abilities.

If you already know your preferred Curriculum, choosing a Kindergarten affiliated with that board is recommended. Otherwise many systems like Montessori’s also offer great learning experiences. Kindergarten may be

presented as an option, But in today’s competitive world, it has become extremely important.

MAP WORK IN SST

“So, what do you teach?” is the obvious question I get when I tell people that I am a teacher. “Social Science”-and I wish I had a Rupee for each instance when the response to this was “You have a tough job.” Yeah, I know, and I am not even going to get into justifying the importance of Social Science-Google it!! The subject is as easy/tough as the next subject-it’s a personal perspective. My lecturing method was simple & my notes easy to follow. So, the students were in the category to flatter any educator. But, where were the 100s/100?! On studying/comparing answer sheets I found the culprit-MAP WORK! Quite a number of students had written N.A in front of the map question. N.A??!! But you just had to pick up your pencil and mark the spot! But easier said than done. I was in for a rude shock when I asked a student why he had marked Lahore in Punjab, near Amritsar when in fact it was in Pakistan-to which he replied (tongue in cheek) “So what Ma’am, it’s just a little bit this...

  Kindergarten, as the name suggests means kid's garden/children's garden. There, they are taught the basics of learning. Their first attempt at reading, writing and understanding alphabets and numbers begin in the kindergarten.

Selecting the Best Schools for Kids

Image
  I recently shifted to Jaipur from Bangalore as my husband who works in an IT industry got a transfer. We have two kids aged 2 and 4 years. There were no issues with our shifting base to Jaipur but the major problem was selecting the schools for our kids. This formed the backbone of our consultations before saying yes to the transfer. The commons questions arising were: Will the Kids get good education in Jaipur? Are there some good schools in Jaipur? These questions used to haunt us for a long time. Ultimately with some good help and consultations with friends we decided upon Wonderland Kids for our kids for Play Groups, Nursery and Pre Primary . It is considered to be one of the Pre-school for Kids in Jaipur and is situated at Jawahar Nagar and Durgapura which ironically is not far from our place of stay while in Jaipur. After having checked the website of the school and having personally meeting the principal and staff members we zeroed on the Wonderland Kids for...
