Believe it or not, your child’s future becomes brighter the more you put the right age-appropriate foundations in place. Often, this comes in the form of structure. There are so many benefits to enrolling your child in a preschool program, sometimes it’s just about finding the right one.
Preschool is the bridge between home life whether it be play, family time, baking or any other fun activities, and K kindergarten. It makes for a much gentler entry to school life than if a child would go from zero to one hundred by jumping straight into K kindergarten. Preschool allows your child the space they need to develop and learn some of the important foundational skills so that they can handle the transition from home life everyday to a thriving school career.
Social skills, cognitive development and emotional regulation are a few aspects of growth that children need intentional input from adults in order to flourish. There’s nothing quite like the guidance of a supportive environment that provides the right tools for the job. Which is why, at Inspiring Minds Preschool we pride ourselves on being the leading preschool in the Tamarac area. It’s about more than getting good grades; in school going years, it’s about character development from a young age and nurturing a lifelong learning approach to school beginning with the role of early learning in preschool..
Developmental Benefits In A Preschool Program
Children are always growing, and in the right environments you can set them up for lifelong success in every facet of life. Below are some of the key developmental areas we focus on in preschool.
Gentle parenting is a trending topic at the moment, and what we believe is an essential part of that is teaching children how to handle social situations with peers and adults, as well as how to start regulating their own emotions. This is not something they will learn in a day, or even a year. It takes time, practice and the right leadership. In a preschool program children will be exposed to various different children and guidelines and they will get the opportunity to grow in these areas.
Cognitive Development
The brain is an amazing organ, and it needs exercise and regular stimulating input. From such an young age early age, children are curious, and eager to learn new things. Their brains are at a their prime time for development peak developmental age, which means they are like sponges, soaking in all the good things!
In a preschool program, children start to learn in a bit of an age-appropriate structure, which means they will also get used to learning in an academic setting. like that and it creates a love for learning. This is an essential and very helpful skill for when they begin school it is time to enter kindergarten.
Language Skills
Language development is a critical skill for young children. The babbling we see from around the age of 4 months old, is already them starting to learn to communicate needs and create connection with those around them. When they are at preschool-going age, this skill language begins to develops a lot quicker – especially when they learn to play and communicate with others at the same age.
Physical Growth And Strength
Playing in the garden outside at home is one thing, while playing with other children, climbing jungle gyms and more is a whole other thing. Young children need to grow physically and develop strong and healthy bodies. The best way to do that is to have fun and develop strength at the same time. At preschool, children get lost in their fun games with friends and other activities that they don’t even realize how strong they are getting.
Additional Important Developmental Areas In Preschool
There are a few important developmental areas that a preschool program will offer outside of the normal aspects of early childhood education.
1. Exposure To Diversity And Learning Acceptance
The world we live in can be intolerant of the uniqueness of other people – those who are different to ourselves. Which is why we believe it’s important for children to start learning how to exist and thrive with other children and people who are different. In a preschool environment, children learn to see and accept the differences among all their peers and then treat everyone with respect and kindness.
2. Lifelong Learning
Learning is so much fun, and these days to adopt a mindset of ‘lifelong learning’ will hold anyone in good stead standing throughout their lives and career. When children enter a preschool program, they learn the value and excitement of learning new things.
3. Character Development
Character is about resilience, and handling every situation in life with a positive attitude and a growth mindset. When children learn to be resilient from a young age, it becomes like a default setting. We all enjoy the comforts of life, but to hold those in balance with building a strong character will mean we do a lot better in the long run. Young children learn the foundations of these skills in preschool.
4. Peace Of Mind For Working Parents
If you are a working parent, then preschool has the added benefit of making sure your child is in a safe place having fun and learning while you do what you need to do to bring income into the home. It’s not like a babysitting service, preschool is a place tailored for children at the appropriate age group to grow, develop and flourish in every possible way – giving working parents the peace of mind they need.
