Little Millennium nursery school and child care

The concept of a play school doesn’t have anything to do with academics but lots to do with developing the Childs age-appropriate social behavior. Nursery and pre-nursery schools usually have 10-20 children from the same or nearby localities spend 1-2 hours each day under the supervision of Montessori trained teachers.

Play schools lay no stress on the child’s performance but on the contrary emphasizes on child care and the sensory-motor and the social development of the child. It is the playschool that observes whether the milestones of normal growth and development are being achieved by the child or not.

Some well recognized play schools are well equipped with a motor skills room, a drama and theatre room and a language room. Apart from basic toilet-training where children are asked to bring their portable potty bowls, some nursery and pre-nursery schools make the children visit the toilet at frequent intervals as part of their toilet training activity.

Almost all the children in the age group of 1+ and 2+ have an innate sense of imitating adults. This is the concept most play schools operate on. Soft toys and gender oriented toys are provided to children to transfer behaviors used during playtime such as feeding a doll, or combing its hair, a child will soon apply to itself in due course of time.

In a play school the supervisors focus on teaching children the age-appropriate behaviors through observation and imitation." Though most Nursery and pre-nursery schools adopt the play way method of teaching and helping the children enact nursery rhymes, the children also participate in role-play exercises." The aim is that each activity at the playschool actually becomes a learning experience for the child.

The children in turn learn how to share their food with others, talk politely, eat with social manners, visit the toilet, control their bladder and open up with people they are otherwise not used to. Brawling children, holding on to their parents on the first day of school is a common sight and nursery and pre nursery schools puts the smile back on their face making them confident little children.

Nursery: building a strong foundation for your pre schooler

Mahabharata an Epic called by people as a part of Indian mythology. Yes and one day someone told me Mythology means myth and I was slightly disappointed at the awareness of the Gentleman. In fact the amount of wisdom and teachings are relevant to even present times .I would like to quote this story which shows the same studies true made by present day’s educationist and psychologists. Some stories of Mahabharata really show some amazing facts of the process of teaching and learning process. I hope you do not doubt this fact, may be you are not able to recall but I can definitely talk about them. One of the famous story is about Abhimanyu, Amazing that he learnt the skill of entering the chakravyuh when he was in his mother’s womb. I am sure you must be guessed what I am hinting at and may be you are hitting at the target, of course I am talking about the fact that learning of a child starts from the time it starts forming.

I think a child’s formal education begins from even before it starts attending the nursery school.

Pre-primary school is very essential and the mother has to be educated to be able to guide the child suitably at the toddler's stage, No I do not mean that all mothers should be teachers but I think it would be a good idea to groom parents on how to train their child at these initial stages. The child learns from imitating is a well-known and proven fact .We know very well that the preaching is of no consequence when it comes to a child’s learning. Habits are caught not taught all are universal truths.

If the parents are not able to guide suitably, it is not at all a bad idea to take help of professionals, yes of course teachers and care takers at the kid’s school. If both the parents are working then, it is a better idea is to leave the child in kid’s school which takes even very young kids, instead of leaving them at the hands of maids or schools with under qualified caretakers. The Kid’s school may not be just a place where the child spends some hours just playing. The games should be so organized that there is learning in it too.

I know some of you might think of the cost factor, but all our lives we talk of love for our kids and we talk of their future, then I will like to say at this stage that money well spent is a good investment. According to me Parents will not have to sit with the kids at the time of their board examination giving them tension and creating exam pressure if the parent has invested money suitably in a kid’s school.

If the foundation of a building is strong the building will be strong .I am sure you are nodding your head .What are you looking at ,You have a small baby who stays in a crèche nearby which is of no consequence then search the net and the city you are in and invest in your child’s future .

Pre school years are a special time in the life of young children. In early childhood the growth and development is accelerated. During this period the kids learn independence, social, emotion, physical, cognitive and language skills.

There are several reasons as to why pre schools play an important role in development. When a child is born, he is sheltered and taken care of by his parents and other family members. As they grow older it is very important for them to learn social skills. The children have to start interacting to the world around them. Primary schools not only provide the children with knowledge and creative thinking skills but also positive social skills. It is very important that the kids socialize with their peers and teachers, this teaches them getting along with others, how to share and how to contribute. Social and emotional readiness can be taught and nurtured most effectively when the child is young. Expressing feelings, awareness of self developing, making friendships are all a part of learning at the pre schools.

Physical development includes gross and fine motor skills which are a equally important part of growth and needs a good amount of attention. Gross motor skills involve activities like running , jumping, hopping, climbing etc. Whereas, fine motor skills help kids in writing and using small objects like painting, making puzzles, play dough moulding, cutting, stringing and construction with blocks. Cognitive development involves how the children think, reason, behave and react to the world around them and lastly how their use their learning. There are academic benefits also from attending pre school like learning numbers and alphabets, matching, sequencing, patterning, language building and asking questions like why, what, who and how. Development in one area effects the other areas, therefore it is very necessary to choose a correct pre school which pays attention to every area of development and provides balanced learning.

           The methods and approaches used in new age pre schools help the kids to find answers through exploration, experimentation and conversation. Going to school makes them confident and happy kids. Research shows that there are increasing evidences that the pre school experience is the best preparation for later school and life success.
