Earlier
it was not necessary to give formal education to children between the ages of 3
and 5. But in the present world of cut throat competition it is essential to
send your child to preschool. This education may not be compulsory but there
are several benefits to educating your child at an early age. Research has
proved that the skills that children develop in preschool stand by them
throughout their lives. In preschool teachers cover the following six areas of
child education: Communication, language and literacy development, mathematical
development, personal, social and emotional development, knowledge of the world
around them, physical development and creative development. Children use these six areas of development by
means of a structured and imaginative play. This information is delivered in a
planned manner by trained and qualified teachers who have been trained in this
field. All teachers who work with small children have a special course in
Montessori teaching which enables them to work with small children.
Research
has shown that what children learn at this early stage is very important. It
stands by them throughout their lives. It helps in making them well adjusted and
fulfilled individuals. It has been proved that children who complete nursery
school education go on to complete higher education and generally do well in
their lives. Furthermore research has proved that nursery school education
gives a child the chance to reach his full potential in their lives. The
government is also trying to bring pre-school education under the Right to
Education Act. This will give the much needed boost to pre-primary education. The
Right to Education act caters to students between the age of 6 and 14 years,
the government is considering bringing pre school education under the ambit of
the Right to Education Act. In the state of Karnataka unaided schools that have
the preschool facility must show implementation of the act at the preschool
level. At this stage the state government has also decide that it will
reimburse part of the fee. The state government has issued a circular stating
that it will reimburse up to RS 5924 per annum per student.
Pre
school education gives children a chance to get a head start in what is
expected of them in kindergarten and the school education beyond that. Though
pre-school is not a compulsory part of education it has been proved beyond
doubt that children who attend preschool do better in elementary school and
beyond. For parents who are sending their children to preschool it is important
to check that the schools are following the norms laid out for kids play
school. Play schools are different from day care centers but many people
confuse between the two and many day care centers function as play schools.
Proper play school usually run for 4 to 5 hours and children learn here many
important skills that have been laid out before in this article.
Pre
schools can be public schools though they are usually private schools run by
private bodies. One nursery school that has a pan India presence is Little
Millennium. It follows a scientific curriculum to educate your child. This
wonderful school has a well trained staff and it teaches children by using the
latest methods used in the field of Montessori education.
